From the article

Joe Burrow completed more than 70% of his passes and threw four touchdowns, but averaged just 5.1 yards per completion. Much of his afternoon was spent dinking and dunking underneath, taking what the defense gave him rather than pushing the ball downfield.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Burrow's 70%+ completion rate masked conservative play-calling and short average depth.

Burrow completed more than 70% of his passes and threw four touchdowns against Miami but averaged just 5.1 yards per completion, spending much of the afternoon 'dinking and dunking underneath, taking what the defense gave him rather than pushing the ball downfield'; however, on rare deep shots he 'reminded everyone what he's capable of,' suggesting his performance was game-script dependent rather than a reflection of declining ability.
