  1. Cincinnati rank 29th against short throws, which make up 73% of Robinson's targets.
  2. Work the left side: 38% of his targets go that way and Cincinnati rank 32nd defending throws there.
  3. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.

The read
  1. Tennessee rank 27th in EPA per dropback allowed over their last 17 games, and 30th against intermediate throws.
  2. Pressure: Tennessee are 7th at getting sacks, and Cincinnati are 4th at avoiding them.
  3. Burrow is 98th percentile for accuracy and rarely gives the ball away, so the route to stopping him is the rush, not waiting for mistakes.
