Last year for the entire season the Bengals had 9 pass completions of over 30 yards and 3 of those were short passes in the air. This year in just 13 games we have 19 completions of over 30 yards and only 6 have been short passes in the air.
Overall Burrow's "yards per completion" has improved a huge 20%.
Sack numbers are deceptive because last year all we could do was dink and dunk with short passes while this year we have more time to throw the ball deep.
