The one time he did mixon gained 11 on the hand off. Everything else was burrow shotgun 5 yards or by himself. The dl just teed off the entire second half without worry.  If your offensive line sucks why no play action? to keep the defensive line guessing and buy 1-2 seconds more separation time for the receivers? The two Times he went deep he connected. They were able to get open when they had time. No screens no designed roll outs to buy time? The entire offensive game plan in the 2nd half was atrocious. This coach is going to get your quarterbacks career finished in the next couple years sad really.

We are a brutally bad screen team.  They rarely work for us.  Keep in mind that an effective screen game requires your OL to be able to get downhill and make some blocks.  Burrow is rarely under center and a lot of that is is because he prefers to be in shotgun.  Frankly, as bad as the OL was, he'd have gotten killed trying to make drops from under C.  They will run play action out of the shotgun, but it's tough from under C because Burrow has to turn his back to the defense and then try to read the field once hhe gets his head back around and unless you fool everyone with PA, there's a defender in his lap.
