I think generally speaking we can trust a good defense than we can trust a good offense, i.e. this team pretty much should have been constructed with an above average D and let Burrow cook with whatever he's got on the other side.
If we could trust the Defense would give Burrow enough chances, I like that metric better than Burrow having to score every possession every game.
