Has Tee Higgins "checked out"?

I agree the entire offense has been out of synch.   For a number of reasons, but the unfortunate injury to Joe is clearly affecting him and that affects everyone. 

To his credit - and the entire team, they toughed it out and did enough to win the game.  I will not mention - except in passing - the amazing job the defense did last night.   But Burrow hung in there, Mixon had some really nice runs, Chase killed it, the offensive line is improved and I liked the impact Tanner Hudson had.

But if Tee catches those passes it's not as close a game.  They were momentum killing drops.

And just for the record, we should have gone for it on 4th down on the first drive

There's a lot of season left to figure out where everyone really is.    I think Burrow is going to struggle the whole season with a nagging injury.   But if everyone gels behind him we still have a shot.
