So no, the Bengals offense in 2021 actually attempted a shorter pass game.
Not to say Burrow didn't improve his deep ball accuracy (and accuracy overall) and did have more snaps where he spent more time in the pocket, but your statement is objectively false. It just seemed like a dink-and-dunk offense because Burrow was terrible at throwing the deep ball in 2020, both overthrowing and underthrowing guys. Also Ja'Marr Chase.
Using the mean does not tell you how many more times Burrow attempted to throw deep. You need the median or else actual number of deep passes by air yards.
I 100% guarantee Burrow threw the ball deep a lot more in 2021. Just need to find the actual numbers.
