Yahoo Sports NFL on Joe Burrow

Burrow vulnerable to blitz; 50-point passer rating drop when pressured.

Travis Holmes argues Jacksonville should significantly increase its blitz rate against Joe Burrow this week. When teams have brought five or more against Burrow in 2026, he has looked extremely human: his passer rating drops from 123 to 73 (a 50-point reduction); his completion rate falls from 77% to 59%; he has a negative 0.51 EPA per dropback with one touchdown and one interception; and his sack rate jumps from 5% to 8.1%. In past years, blitzing Joe meant planning for a rough day at the office, but in 2026, that storyline has seemingly shifted.
