He is having a great, MVP caliber season.
Burrow has lead the team on more than a dozen game winning drives, if the kicker makes it between the goalposts, or the defense gets a stop.
You can complain about third downs not being converted, but Joe has been doing his part, without question, and then some.
FYI, the Bengals are 5th in the league in third down conversion percentage, at 45.45%, so him being "responsible" for just a dozen in your eyes is quite good and telling of the rest of the team...

In third down conversions allowed, the defense is 28th, allowing them 44.37% of the time.
