Oh, of course. It doesn't hurt anything. I just wouldn't attribute the New Orleans game to it. Running has value, particularly in the red zone and short yardage situations. It really helps finish off drives. It just doesn't help your passing game much. It can make the defense play you differently, but not inherently worse. Just as the run game was good against Baltimore and Burrow stunk, the run game was good and Burrow was fantastic against New Orleans, and the run game stunk and Burrow was fantastic against New York/Miami.
That's just Burrow and Co. making the plays we know they can.
