NFL: The Insiders on Joe Burrow

Burrow's 72.9% pass rate reflects Bengals' strategy to maximize his touches.

Joe Burrow is positioned as a high-volume passer in the Bengals' offensive scheme; Kingsley Suamataia notes that Burrow will be up to the task in any pace race (whether 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, or 60 points), and the ball is in his hands approximately 80% of the game. In Week 8 against Arizona, Burrow's pass play rate was 72.9%, and it has been close to 80% in other games as well. The Bengals are living by the sword and dying by the sword, putting the ball in Burrow's hand as much as possible rather than relying on a strong run game, despite the offensive line's improved performance in both run and pass game.
