Here is the thing, it doesn’t matter.
Let’s assume it was the first play. Okay, you have two more plays to get the first and assume you’ll pass one or two of those after this gets a couple yards. Maybe it’s 2nd down? Okay, you are in a run heavy set which means you may not have more than two guys in the pattern and they are covering it? Cool you still got 3rd. If it’s 3rd and the playcall can’t get you 10 in this look then you’re better off not forcing it than turning it over.
No matter how it’s sliced one check by Burrow didn’t lose it, coming out three times in heavy personnel without all out weapons on the field is what lost it. Even if Burrow wanted to get to a new play he’s limited by the personnel the HC put on the field.
