Ravens came in with a hell of a game plan and rattled him, no doubt about that. The scary part is the coaches lack of creativity in finding some way, any way, to get the ball out quicker to someone.
The @Ravens are the first team to ever have FIVE defensive backs register a sack, according to @pfref’s database.

All 5 DB sacks
1. Jonah gets beat cheating inside forcing Burrow to step up then run.
2. Two backs drop, Hopkins looks for work while Redmond takes the End and Mixon releases rather than picking up the blitzer.
3. Instant pressure off end as it's a big ask to get Sample across formation to pick it up. It's 8 Man protection which means only 2 guys in the pattern and both doubled in the back end. Burrow realizes he has nothing but is in pocket so trys to get out and throw away getting sack/fumbled in the process.
4. 6 man protection with a late blitzer creates issues as Mixon releases out of back field quickly throwing a weak chip to Williams man. Doesn't matter because the two crossers are doubled on backside forcing Burrow to again try and get out of pocket to throw away before being sacked.
5. Late blitzer to blindside, this one is on Burrow knowing he should have thrown hot to Higgins.
We are losing in 6 and 7 man protections against rushes we have numbers against, that is a problem. One common theme, they really struggled blocking when the two linebackers fell out of the gap into coverage. Somewhere a miscommunication was leving dudes unblocked and others doubled which shouldn't be happening when you have even numbers like the 2nd and 5th sack above.
