Burrow thrived when the Bengals abandoned their under-center emphasis and let him operate almost exclusively from shotgun in the second half. He ran just 13% of his plays from under-center during the second half and produced five straight touchdown drives. The source emphasizes that shotgun play-calling is what Burrow does best—scanning the field from out of shotgun—and the Bengals' decision to lean into this strength generated big play after big play during the second half.

Burrow's protection situation has undergone a historic turnaround. The Bengals added Amarius Mims, Dylan Fairchild, and Dalton Risner to the offensive line in 2024–2025, then added Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, and Cashius Howell to the defense in the most recent offseason. The result: Burrow has been sacked only 10 times through the current season, putting the Bengals on pace for a +31 sack differential by season's end—the greatest in franchise history since sacks were first tracked in 1982. This represents a dramatic reversal from 2020 (his draft year), when the Bengals were -31 in sack differential, the second-worst on record. The team has improved every year of the Burrow era, progressing from -31 (2020) to -1 (2025) to +11 (2026 current pace), with Burrow's sack rate dropping from 32nd in pass protection (2020) to 5th (2026).
