Burrow, to be fair, accounts for a larger portion of his team's offense than a typical pocket passer. Still, it's alarming to see him with an implied team total of 21.5 (45.5 O/U, HOU -2.5)... Burrow, with a mediocre run game at his side, will see far more two-high looks. Plus, he's dealing with a minor back injury, and Nico Collins' likely absence on the other side of the game decreases the odds of a shootout

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Burrow faces two-high looks and a weak Bengals total; minor back injury compounds matchup downgrade.

Burrow faces a Houston defense that deployed single-high coverage at 78% and Cover 3 at 56% in Week 1 (both well above 2024-25 league average), a dramatic shift likely driven by Josh Allen's performance. With a mediocre Bengals run game and Nico Collins likely absent, Burrow will see far more two-high looks and reduced shootout potential. He's also dealing with a minor back injury. The Bengals' implied team total of 21.5 (45.5 O/U, HOU -2.5) is alarming for a pocket passer who typically accounts for a larger portion of his team's offense.
