It's true he managed to get through the Titans game pretty unscathed, but that is more about the Titans. They were 30th in sacks, 29th in QB Hits, 30th in Hurry %, 27th in Knock Down %, and 31st in Pressure % (worse than the Bengals on a couple of those). The Titans were truly awful at anything to do with getting to the QB last year.

Week 1: 3 Sacks, 6 Hits
Week 2: 3 Sacks, 7 Hits
Week 3: 8 Sacks, 16 Hits
Week 4: 1 Sack, 5 Hits
Week 5: 7 Sacks, 15 Hits
Week 6: 2 Sacks, 6 Hits
Week 7: 4 Sacks, 7 Hits
Week 8: 0 Sacks, 2 Hits
Week 9: 4 Sacks, 9 Hits
Week 10: 0 Sacks, 14 Hits (~1/2 game)

Only 2 teams he didn't get pummeled by? The 31st and 30th teams (also known as the two worst non-Bengals teams) for sacks and he ended his season with his 3rd and on pace for his 1st most hits in a game. There was no improvement as far as not taking hits goes. Even if you are super generous and assume Burrow takes 0 more hits the entire rest of Week 10 if he doesn't get hurt, that would still make Weeks 9-10 tied for the highest amount of hits he took in any 2 game span all year.

Who is responsible for each sack, QB hit, and pressure?
