I'll post them again since you didn't seem to think it was important to touch on it before.
Chiefs QBs have been hurried 36 times. Bengals 6 times.
Chiefs QBs have been hit 29 times. Bengals 22 times.
Chiefs QBs have been pressured 71 times. Bengals 42.
Chiefs pressure percentage is 27.8. Bengals is 16.6.
Mahomes is holding the ball 24% longer than Burrow but he's being pressured 59.7% more. He's been sacked less because he's able to escape the pressure better. That doesn't mean his oline is better.
42.8% of Burrows sacks have come on 3rd down and all have been against the blitz.
TTT and ADOT can certainly play a part in sack numbers but so can several other things. It's too easy to look at 14 sacks and a low TTT and say "ohhhh, the line suuuuuuukxxxx" but it's lazy and incorrect. I could waste a bunch of more time and point out how Burrow has said he doesn't care about sacks and point out that he was sacked 5 times in the first 3 games and 9 times in the last 3 but what's the point at this point? You're dug in and you're not going to change your mind, no matter how wrong you are.
