Joe Burrow seems to be relatively good at primetime, but that is what this season will show us as I'm assuming the runner up team will be in several prime time games in our follow up campaign.
Considering that the prime time woes dated back to the Palmer years, I'd say it was something to do with the coaching. The team always looked tight, and other times they just came out flat. If they fell behind, it often snowballed. We won a few prime time games with Dalton...Denver and Baltimore come to mind...but overall, the team didn't perform well under the lights while Marvin was here.
To the OP....the team won every game in the playoffs, and the lone prime time game last year. The year prior, they won in prime time with Ryan Finley at QB and the defense set the tone early. These players don't wilt when they get behind, that's a huge plus for the coaching staff.
