This is when we have to remind people that Joe Burrow wins most of his games and has had the 23rd ranked defense in EPA per play and 28th in success rate over this time.
That's 10.5 wins out of 17 games if the math works.
And if the defense is above average, they're coming for the #1 seed.
What a quote from a Steelers insider:
"You know when the clock runs out on you in a fantasy football draft. And it auto picks a guy you don't want. That's what happened to the Steelers tonight."

Rams trade away all their picks for known entities and they're aggressive, savvy, have a win now mentality, etc.
Bengals trade one first round pick in what's considered a below average draft class for an all pro and they're dumb.
To keep Dexter Lawrence for 4 years will cost the Bengals roughly $100 MM.
The #10 Draft pick would have cost the Bengals $28 MM for 4 years.
Would you rather have:
Dexter Lawrence age 29-32 seasons
OR
The #10 draft pick PLUS an extra $72 Million to spend elsewhere
Bad trade for the Bengals.
@Cubs_Colts@coltscubscats@esidery Completely different offenses for sure. Not going to act like I watch the Colts on a regular basis to know how Pierce plays beyond catching three deep balls per game, though.
