He had single high, no pressure, with Yoshi and Chase streaking down field one on one. He also had a target open intermediate in a hole in the zone. To make matters worse, an outlet was wide open to his left in the flat. Instead of seeing those, he ducked his head to phantom pressure and threw to the outlet to his right with defenders closing. Result was a punt. I also saw numbers that said he had, on average, around 3.5 seconds to throw, and was pressured at a rate that was the third lowest of his career. Something was off with Joe. Hoping it's just rust.
Honestly makes me feel better as I don't see any way that Burrow doesn't look at that film and feel ashamed. Probably his worst game of
his career and he had time. Expecting Burrow to bounce back big time against the Chiefs. Maybe not enough for a win, but enough to where
his confidence is back and we can make a run as long as we start slowing down the run a bit on Defense. Hopefully Murphy and Kris Jenkins
coming back will help here as Hubbard sounds like he has lost it and Rankins played terrible against the run in this one. Trey is always bad
against the run pretty much. This is our weakness that needs to be fixed.
