Hence, "The chiefs are done"... "Mahomes is broken", yadda yadda.
I will admit, I haven't watched a single Bengals game this season. There could be reasons that the Eye test say that Mixon is actually better than whatever stats you find.

I watched them against the Broncos and Chargers.
I know they're better than those outings - and that when they click, they can be really good. I just see someone like Chris Jones potentially being as game-breaking to their high-flying offense as he was to the Cowboys. Dak was going to put up 40 on us, he ended up getting 9.
Basically it seems like their board is hoping Burrow goes into the Avatar State for the whole game to beat us. Unlike a lot of QB's, he
does have the talent do it, and Jones could always have an off day, but it puts a whole lot on their young QB and rarely can they do it alone.
Now, COVID could wreck our team and change the situation dramatically. And as Burrow said, because Cincy has no nightlife (Applebee's excluded), the Bengals are pretty safe from COVID.
