You don’t want to blitz Joe Burrow

Please blitz Joe Burrow.

That may sound strange considering he’s coming off major knee surgery. But in all three Bengals losses—against the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers, and the New York Jets—the team was blitzed less than 25% of the time. In fact, those games were the three in which Cincinnati was blitzed the least (14.7%, 19%, and 24% respectively).

Was curious, so looked at how often Burrow has been blitzed per week:
8: 24% NYJ
7: 38% BAL
6: 30.5% DET
5: 19% GB
4: 30% JAX
3: 31.
