By not going deep and not using max protect and especially the empty backfield crap they allowed the Bears to pin their ears back and go at the 5 man OL which was getting no assists from backs or TEs. Add in Burrow not moving in the pocket at all and the real question is why only 4 sacks?

I think the final tally was 5 sacks and 9 QB hits.  A gameplan with so much focus on short/quick plays and Burrow gets nailed 9 times to go with the 5 times he didn't get the ball out seems to tell the tale. Or does a sack also count as a hit? So 5 sacks and 4 hits, total?
