Fwiw, I'm not trying to diminish the flashes that Joe Burrow showed by pointing this out.  I think he had a really impressive rookie year, and I think every team has to worry about him progressing and him getting additional weapons.  But I just don't think it's fair to say that Washington game in particular is going to stike fear in opposing defenses.

True, and I figured you would bring that up...that being said, I will take an 8.33 YPA any day.  The points...I still have trouble remembering what happened that day.  I'm pretty sure Fat Randy missed at least one...but I hear ya.  

What MIGHT strike fear in the hearts of opponents are 3 new starters on the offensive line, a healthy Joe Mixon, Ja'Marr Chase, and the punishing runs of Samaje Perine when the Bengals are in the lead and trying to put the game away.
