The softest part of the schedule is upon us...

Burrow looked capable. The offense was moving the ball but stalled on the Higgins drops, the two false start penalties, and the Burrow interception (almost a flukey play). 

There were a lot of points left out on that field, players just didn't make plays. It wasn't anything like the Cleveland game where we were just incapable of moving the football. 

Yes.

QB 1: 52.4% Completion, 5.6 YPA, 57.0 QB Rating
QB 2: 53.1% Completion, 5.3 YPA, 59.8 QB Rating
QB 3: 59.2% Completion, 4.2 YPA, 66.6 QB Rating
QB 4: 58.0% Completion, 6.0 YPA, 67.7 QB Rating

QB 1 is Zach Wilson this year, QB 2 is Joe Burrow Week 3, QB 3 is Bryce Young this year, and QB 4 is Justin Fields this year.

The main player who was not making plays was Joe Burrow, who looked anything but capable. He had like 10 uncatchable balls, not counting pure throwaways. Mixon ran for 3.4 YPC, Tee was terrible, but Burrow was also terrible.

I can honestly say that I do not think he was helping the team by toughing out his injury and playing on Monday. He was basically Ryan Finley statistically... Finley career numbers: 48.7% Completion, 5.4 YPA, 59.4 QB Rating
