STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Burrow's 400 yards masked Jaguars' defensive dominance; rare 400-yard, sub-20-point game.

Joe Burrow threw for 400 yards in the Jaguars-Bengals game but scored fewer than 20 points, making this only one of 11 games since 2000 where a team has achieved this stat line. The source notes Burrow had 'some really nice moments' in the passing game, including 'bully ball T Higgins back shoulder throws,' but the Jaguars' defense was effective at limiting explosive plays and forcing turnovers despite the yardage total.
