As has been mentioned, Burrow needs to help his guys out a bit more. This team is rather young, there will be growing pains and lessons learned. The QB is young, he's learning every week. Hopkins is getting his legs back under him, Adeniji has been an improvement at RG, Jonah hasn't reached his potential, and these guys really just started to gel about week 6.
I was really looking forward to watch the incarnation of Jonah, Big Spain, Hopkins, Adeniji and Reiff play their 3rd straight game together. After what they did to Pittsburgh, I was expecting a huge run game against the Chargers, who are last in the league against the run. Unfortunately, 2 of the 5 were unable to go and replaced by rookies (Yes, I realize Prince isn't a rookie, but he hasn't seen extended playing time)
