Why? Mainly the Cincy defense performing at a much stronger level than the Buffalo defense. Josh’s defense has allowed over 35 points per game in the last 3 playoff losses. Burrow’s only playoff loss featured 23 points by the Rams. His defense has allowed only 18 points per game so far in his 6 Playoff games.

Part of Burrow's numbers are that the defense has allowed him to not have to throw a lot in the 2nd half. He hasn't been in a shootout in the playoffs yet.
He had 27 attempts for 186 yards and 2 tds in the first half against Buffalo. He hasn't thrown the ball 40 times in a playoff game yet.
