With Burrow making NFL history this season, can anyone stop him?
Getting Better With Each Start
While the start of the 2022 season wasn’t great for Burrow, he’s making improvements. With each game, he’s getting better.
When the season began, he had two games where defenses were all over him during the game. After two games, defenses got to Burrow 13 times.
However, some of those sacks were his fault. But since then, Burrow is making better decisions and his line is protecting him. In the five following games, defenses have only gotten to Burrow 11 times. With him making better decisions, he can continue to make NFL history, and not from becoming the most sacked QB in NFL history.
