Because the Bears had a 4 game stretch where they scored 27.75 ppg. But were 21.2 ppg on the season.
The Browns had a 4 game stretch where they scored 31 ppg. But were 23.3 ppg on the season.
Even the pathetic Panthers had a 4 game stretch where they scored 21.25 points per game instead of their season total of 13.9 ppg.

If we just take 4 games and expand it to a season Flacco would have crushed Burrow in yards (5,788) and TDs (47).
Justin Fields would also throw 42 TDs, which would be more than Burrow.
Sam Howell would throw for 5,482 yards and 38 TDs with a 68.8% completion.
Russell Wilson would have thrown 38 TDs, too with the same 9:2 ratio as Burrow.

Much like a couple years ago when the story was "if they just won the 1-score games!" when if everyone won every 1-score game that year there would have only been 2 teams left with a losing record at 7-9. If you take everyone's best 4-game stretch of a season, the vast majority of players would have absurd numbers.

The bengals scored 26.1 and 27.1 ppg in the 2022 and 2021 seasons. So I guess with a healthy burrow you can expect a top scoring offense. I believe the “best” 4 game stretch last year was simply our baseline. We didn’t get to see the outlier “best” 4 game stretch due to injuries.
