He's proven he can't run behind whatever line we have constructed for him. We should have put money in the line and use someone other than Mixon at RB. That would have protected Burrow, make any average RB above average - and that's probably all Burrow needs.

Mixon put up 1400+ yards from scrimmage both in 2018 and 2019.
He did it behind two bad OLs.
He has the capability.

The problem is they have a bunch of guys who are now bad at run blocking.
Also, the Bengals have the 12th most passing plays in the NFL at 60.8%.
The increased passing isn't always because of teams playing from behind, as Pittsburgh has 2nd highest pass percentage (63.91%) but has 12 wins on the season.
