From the article

Burden played 3 of 21 snaps in heavy personnel. When the Bears established a lead, they went away from 3-WR sets, which is partially explaining the massive splits between halves for Burden this season. He's the WR3 in yards per route in the first half and the WR61 in the second half.

Burden's role shrinks in second half; WR3 to WR61 split shows game script dependency.

Burden played 3 of 21 snaps in heavy personnel. When the Bears established a lead, they went away from 3-WR sets, which explains the massive splits between halves for Burden this season. He's WR3 in yards per route in the first half and WR61 in the second half. When Johnson hasn't isolated him on a first read, the results are worse.
