Reply to comment by amanamongbotss in [OC] Joe Burrow's career performance at Arrowhead ("Burrowhead") Stadium by JPAnalyst

Lol what? The TD to Higgins he chucked it up into double coverage and Higgins made an absurd play. The throw to Chase on 4th was the same thing, he just tossed it into double coverage and hoped for the best. If anything his stats overstate his performance.

The TD to Higgins was literally a perfect throw and a calculated risk. And it was barely even contested.

That was exactly the type of play you’d hope to see, he gave his guy a chance and put in a spot that played in his favor. Not sure how that reflects poorly for Burrow.

The throw to Chase, who is one of the best WRs in the game, was literally perfect. You can throw into tight windows (sometimes double covered) when you’re that accurate, especially when the guy that was doubled is Jamar Chase.

These aren’t marks against, at all

Chase had a step on both DBs and it was under thrown by 5 yards. Go watch the replay, he has both DBs beat.

Chase, being incredible, made an adjustment back to the ball and caught it. A properly placed ball ahead of Chase is a TD. I understand why Burrow wasn’t able to put enough on it, as he was a split second from being tackled, but let’s not pretend it was “perfect” and he intended for Chase to have to slow down and come back to the ball.
