Their offense is stupid simple, as well. They just trot out their receivers and trust one of them to get open and Burrow to find them, and against most defenses it works, because Burrow is good and he’s surrounded by excellent skill position players. They don’t really scheme guys open or lean into your weaknesses. They just play.

Interesting, someone here had the same takeaways the other day, saying there's really no pre-snap movement on offense, no exotic blitzes or anything.

Makes sense given their cupcake schedule and lack of quality wins.
