Browning may have been under center more, and he went deep with Chase, which for some reason Burrow has seemed to be reluctant to do this year. What I do think was different was Zac was calling run plays at the start to help Browning, but then then run game actually started working. Still, 350+ yards, 31 points and an 86.5 completion percentage will win the vast majority of NFL games.
When you compare the Jax game to the Pitt game there was quite a bit of difference. Browning really seemed to struggle in his post snap reads against Pitt usually determining a receiver pre snap and locking on to him. They rolled Browning out and moved the pocket giving him one or two reads helping eliminate the need for post snap reads. They went from 12 empty sets against Pitt to 0 against Jax. They upped the play action from 25% to 45%. They actually seemed to scrap the lateral RPOs quickly instead throwing some vertical RPOs. They're were even more changes but these are the ones that stood out to me that I saw mentioned.
