Instead of just taking what's being given, 5 yards or whatever?

Certainly could be part of it from a head-game aspect.  He's got to be a little impatient with the pressure.  In the first couple of games from being down and trying to come back (Burrow even alluded to that from a passing perspective in the post-game interview), and then just not finding his rhythm in the two wins, either.
