I wouldn't post it solely on the interrior OL. Some of Burrows sacks came well after I counted to 3, which is all you can ask for with back up linemen. There was no count to 3 and run plan. It was a count to 3 and dance around until you get sacked plan. Again, not many check downs, delayed handoffs, moving Chase into backfield to keep the defense on their toes. Just don't get how the offensive game plan was so creative last week and so stale this week. But I will always be a Bengals fan. Suffered through much worse in the past 30 years!
