There's a third and nine that Joe Burrow is trying to throw like a speed out...he just throws it low and behind T Higgins...Joe Burrow just takes a snap and throws a go ball to T Higgins. It's capped the whole way.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Burrow's accuracy declining; relying on 50-50 balls to elite receivers.

Burrow's accuracy issues are increasing this season; in the Bengals-Dolphins game, he threw a pass low and behind T. Higgins on third-and-nine and threw a balloon to Higgins on a go ball against cover-6 that was never going to be open, exemplifying the Bengals' reliance on chucking it up to elite receivers rather than generating explosives through scheme.
