From the article

For the first time in Joe Burrow's career, he's won Week 1 games in back-to-back seasons. I'm convinced at this point that Burrow is just a slow starter. He wasn't terrible on Sunday, but he wasn't his normal self, and his pick-six thrown to linebacker Josiah Trotter was very un-Burrow-like.

Burrow's back-to-back Week 1 wins mark career milestone; slow-starter pattern noted but offense talent reassuring.

For the first time in Burrow's career, he's won Week 1 games in back-to-back seasons. The source characterizes Burrow as a slow starter; he wasn't terrible in Week 1 but wasn't his normal self, throwing a pick-six to Josiah Trotter that was very un-Burrow-like. However, the source is not overly concerned about the offense given the talent level. The Bengals are emphasizing Burrow playing under center to set up play-action, and while Burrow doesn't look completely comfortable with it yet, the source sees the potential.
