However, Burrow is tied with only Zach Wilson for zero completions on those attempts, worst in the league. This is actually the same exact pace that they had last season - roughly three deep attempts per game. Burrow finished last season with 64 attempts of 20+ yards over the regular season and post-season. 

In the last game, despite the lack of connectivity on the long throws, Mixon was able to come up with a pair of "splash" plays, both of which I think went for over 20yds and put the ball firmly in Baltimore territory.  It was just unfortunate that neither time were the Bengals able to build off of those plays and push the ball into the endzone.
