It is what it looks like. A team reliant on its stars - Burrow, Chase, and Higgins.

As a former coach I seldom criticize coaches, but this is what makes Taylor's decision to run the ball after Jackson's turnover so egregious.  With the game on the line you let your playmakers -- in this case Burrow, Higgins and Chase -- make plays.  I would imagine Joe is quietly furious with Zac.
