He's done amazing things as a rookie, as well as others on the team. No preseason and 1st year in the NFL tells me that Burrow and the others are learning at a quick rate. So, if they do beat the Steelers, (which I think they can) then you might have a truly great team on your hands, as much as many would hate to admit it. After beating Tennessee, the a win over Steelers? Meh, this may be our corner we've been waiting to turn for several years that's yet to be seen.

Exceptions yes but translating into wins No. the NFL is seeing a uptick in offense now.. we are putting up more points 24 but still only 20th in the NFL.. Burrow and Herbert have record years as rookies., throwing the ball a ton each game. Tua goes crazy past week.. Murray is lighting it up as a 2nd year QB.. The question starts to become is it the QBs that are that good or have the rules given them a uneven playing field ?  I think a bit of both.. this year looks like a great year for rookies QBs but the rules have also put them in a much better position than a decade or more ago. 
 totally love a win this weekend but will take a team effort not just a strong performance by Burrow though if we can go perfect with TDs in the red zone we have a shot... you won;t be beating Ben with FGS...
