The blueprint LA provided for beating the Bears is to take a guy like Stafford out of Detroit and put him on a SB-caliber team with a SB-caliber coach. Burrow airing it out sounds like fun, but also goes against our "Please don't let ZT get Burrow killed" mantra we had going until the game ended yesterday.
I'm just not sure Chase getting a long TD on a blown coverage once the game was (supposedly) in the bag is evidence Burrow trying to stay alive while long pass plays develop is the key to victory. Then again, it would be more interesting for sure.
