It was bad optics because Mike Jordan (I'm done calling that scrub Michael Jordan) was right there, and that Washington front 4 is gnarly, but it really was a freak occurance... I'm not saying protection isn't important. I'm just saying we could've been bookended by Sewell and Jonah, and that still happens.

Eh... I'm not sure it was all that freak... 

I agree other QBs do get hurt behind even good lines but with Burrow there was a little more to it. We have a suspect line and our coaching strategy was run empty sets and pass more then anyone else. That is just asking for the kid to get killed. I feel like everyone watching this team last year and watching Burrow get hit week after week had to start thinking that he was going to get injured before it all ended.

The injury falls on lack of oline talent, mixed with really really poor play calling.
