re: Joe Burrow Vs. Trevor Lawrence isn't a fair matchup

250/370 65.2% completion 3280 Passing yards 36 TDs 8 INTs
514 yards rushing 8 TDs

371/478 77.6% completion 5208 passing yards 55 TDs 6 INTs
310 yards rushing 4 TDs

So Burrow has passed for 1900 more yards, 19 more TDs, 12% higher completion, and fewer interceptions than Lawrence against tougher competition. There's no scenario where Burrow loses this game unless he gets injured.
