From the article

Play 1: Tyson escapes the pocket and has Luther Burden III working with him towards the left sideline with no defender within 5 yards, if Tyson hits his man here it's an easy chunk play and with Burden's YAC ability maybe even a score, Bagent instead scrambles for 4-yards on the play. Play 8: Probably the most egregious miss by Bagent, the Packers fail in passing off Burder as he runs a shallow crossing route, Bagent is literally all eyes on Burden, but does not pull the trigger. With Burden's after the catch ability this has a chance for a touchdown, instead it ends with Bagent wrapped up by a Packers defender for a sack.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Burden was open multiple times but Bagent failed to deliver on high-upside opportunities.

Burden was featured in multiple missed opportunities by Bagent: escaping the pocket with Burden working toward the left sideline with no defender within 5 yards (potential chunk play or score with YAC ability); running a shallow crossing route that Bagent stared down but failed to throw despite Burden's after-the-catch ability creating touchdown potential; and running a Cross concept from the top of the screen where Bagent checked down to Raymond for 3 yards instead of using anticipation and touch to get the ball over intermediate defenders.
