A lot of people don’t know ball or quarterback play here. Burrow actually graded out significantly higher than Mahomes in that AFC championship game. Significantly.

And Hurts outplayed Mahomes in the superbowl right?

Burrow did not outplay Mahomes. What’s your outplayed argument bc statistically you can’t in that game! Mahomes beat him in every relevant category.

Burrow under threw both and decision to go deep into double coverage is risky. Hey, when you have a stud WR goin against two rookies it’s worth a shot…or maybe not

Again you are looking at things from a simpleton point of view. Counting stats vs actually evaluating the plays, what is open, etc.

One QB received elite blocking in the game. The other was Joe Burrow. One player also received officiating breaks in the game. The other was Joe Burrow.

Also, the 2nd Int wasn’t double coverage. I won’t get dive deep into the minutia of nfl coverage schemes, bc you won’t understand it anyway.

But for due purposes, Highins was essentially 1 on 1 with a backup safety on that play. There was a corner trailing the play and he ended up making the int bc the ball was tipped 10 feet up into the air and he was close enough in the area to get under it only bc it was tipped.

It wasn’t a double coverage yolo toss. Also, even if it was. It was 3rd down. Burrow was getting hit and no other read was remotely open.
