Burrow was like 11 out 15 in first half, having at 3 to 4 passes go for over 10 yards, two sacks and poor throw/reads on 3rd down and 4/5 did us in 1st half.. 2nd half, we just miss one 1st series with deep pass, then hit a big one to Higgins on 2nd series then he fumbles, then Burrow falls apart with 3 ints next three series..pretty much game was over after that
I'm curious what kind of coverage they were running against the Rams because if it was the same they had some serious communication issues going on so it might not have mattered if they were 2 deep. Your right we did move the ball in the 1st half and I don't hate the approach but I just think a little more creativity makes the difference.
