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.

Things I learned from attending Buccaneers/Bengals 1. Bucky Irving just runs so pure and dominated the backfield despite the team being down by 2 scores all game. Looked great catching passes. His ADP is going to make a lot of people look like jive turkeys 2. Bengals front is beastly. Bucs have a top 3 offensive line and they dogwalked em. Baker did hold onto the ball longer than he should have but he did not have all day to throw. 3. Joe Burrow looked like Peyton Manning. Found the best matc...

Burrow looked perfectly comfortable operating in offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher's new scheme in Week 1, found plenty of profit when targeting tight end Mike Gesicki, enjoyed a quality day from running back Chase Brown, and converted the game-sealing first down on an 18-yard connection with Tee Higgins; the traditionally slow-starting Bengals looked much better than typical in Week 1, with the new offense effective on a situational level.

Burrow threw a pick-six in the third quarter with the Bengals holding a comfortable lead, attempting to fit a ball into a tight window against Tampa Bay rookie Josiah Trotter. Burrow took full responsibility, saying 'Terrible (throw) from me. I had an out route to the field. The flat defender got underneath it, so I'm trying to throw the replacement, and the guy made a good play, but I can't make that turnover.' He acknowledged the mistake changed the game's tone from comfortable to one-score, and stated he would 'have felt great walking out of here' without it.

Burrow completed 25/35 passes for 254 yards and 1 TD in Week 1 home opener vs. Tampa Bay, finishing with a 33-27 win. The source notes his performance included 'really good throws' and 'frustrating ones' with 'a little bit of rust,' but he had one sack against a Tampa Bay defense expected to be one of Cincinnati's tougher early-season tests. The offensive line protection allowed him to work through progressions and make plays with his legs late in the game to close out the fourth quarter.

Burrow threw a pick-six to Tampa Bay rookie Josiah Trotter in the third quarter while the Bengals held a comfortable lead. Burrow acknowledged the mistake directly: 'Terrible (throw) from me. I had an out route to the field. The flat defender got underneath it, so I'm trying to throw the replacement, and the guy made a good play, but I can't make that turnover.' The interception turned a comfortable game into a one-score affair and was the glaring mistake that defined the afternoon despite otherwise solid play.
