Due to the level of the opponents during these 5 games it is very fair to extrapolate these numbers over a 17 game season:

You lost me here. 

It is never "fair" to extrapolate 5 games (29.4%) into a 17 game season for any player for any sport. Just look at the MLB COVID shortened season and how many guys did crazy fluke runs. Guys have good stretches and bad stretches all the time, and how does one determine if a player is healthy and just playing bad vs hurt? Is it just whenever they start playing well that they're suddenly healthy? It's also extra not fair to extrapolate a cherrypicked 29.4% of a season into a fully season for a player who has never made 17 healthy regular season starts in a season. I think Burrow's single season record right now is 14 in 2022.

Also it's amazing how quickly the narrative has been cemented that Boyd cost Burrow the W. Not the horrible redzone INT Burrow threw in the endzone for his 2nd INT, and ignore the fact that Boyd took a short pass 64 yards to put them on the 7 yard line to win it before Burrow took a sack to move them back to the 14 and then Burrow ran for 1 yard on 2nd and goal from the 14. Burrow won it and Boyd lost it, simple as that apparently. Boyd needed to catch it so he certainly had a hand in the loss, but just struck me as funny at how quickly it became he lost what Burrow had won.
