I haven’t seen a lot of people point this out yet. Maybe I am missing it, but yes, you are correct.
The run game was atrocious Sunday. Mixon averaged 3.04 yards per carry. That would have been good for his 3rd worst game last season. At some point, when your run game is that bad, you have to do what works best. Running the ball ineffectively only puts you in tough situations, so they put Burrow toss it.
