Burrow's accuracy in goal-to-go spots masks Bengals' 26th-ranked EPA efficiency.

Burrow ranks third-most accurate passer in goal-to-go situations over the past five seasons, yet the Bengals rank 26th in EPA per play (-0.06) and 17th in success rate (44%) in those situations; the source attributes the underperformance to offensive scheme and play-calling rather than quarterback accuracy, suggesting Burrow's individual performance is being masked by systemic offensive inefficiency near the goal line.
