In 2020 Burrow was throwing to a rookie in Higgins, Boyd, a disinterested AJ Green and Drew Sample was his freaking TE for 13 of the 16 games.
He still threw for 300yds 4 times and 400yds once.
Yes, "really". He didn't have to replace a PBer on the fly in 2020. He wasn't a captain in 2020. He wasn't a defending AFC champion in 2020. And Drew Sample wasn't his "freaking TE for 13 of the 16 games" in 2020 because he shredded his knee halfway through the year and only played in 10.
But otherwise it was exactly the same context, you're right. Joe Burrow has been here before. No excuses.
