As noted, Joe Burrow set a career low in pass attempts (27) while setting career highs in yards/attempt, completion% and rating.

Using Joe Mixon to make Burrow more efficient, take fewer hits and not turn games into Burrow vs the world. https://t.co/yrzMMtl9cp
Running game helps everything this team struggled with last year.
- Less passes mean less chances for Burrow injury
- better run/pass mix makes the job easier for Oline
- keeps defense more fresh late in the game
