THE OFFENSIVE IDENTITY
Burrow’s passing. More ways to disguise it.
CIN 20, HOU 6 — final. Burrow played after carrying a questionable designation. Chase scored twice; the completed production replaces the pregame uncertainty. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.
The coaching core continues, but 2025 rates include an eight-appearance Burrow season and work by other quarterbacks. Rascati’s 2026 comments describe planned adjustments, not measured new-season frequencies.

The approach behind the offense
Reported concepts and coaching prioritiesRuns that set up passes
Pass-game coordinator Justin Rascati identifies downfield shots, keepers and play-action as ways to connect the run and pass games and create more explosive opportunities.
Source & context ↗Under-center options
Rascati says under-center concepts are an offseason emphasis and Burrow is comfortable executing them. The shotgun field view remains one illustrative choice.
Source & context ↗Move Chase to find matchups
The staff describes varying Chase’s alignment and motion, including inside, outside and backfield locations, to get him touches against extra defensive attention.
Source & context ↗Fantasy connection: Burrow played after carrying a questionable designation. Chase scored twice; the completed production replaces the pregame uncertainty.

Target share: player targets / all recorded team targets. Carry share: player rush attempts / team rush attempts (including QB runs/kneels). Red-zone and goal-line share: player targets + rush attempts inside the opponent 20 / 5 divided by the corresponding team total. Null means unverified, not zero. Preliminary statistics may be corrected.
Week 2 snap counts are available for all 32 teams. Route participation and targets per route remain unverified. Unavailable is not zero.

Availability: Active means on the named game-day roster, not a snap guarantee. Inactive means not playing in that named game. Emergency QB has conditional entry restrictions. Available means not carrying a current out, doubtful or questionable designation in the checked evidence; it does not establish final game-day active status. Pending means clearance for the upcoming game is unconfirmed. Reserve and practice-squad players have distinct roster restrictions. Elevated means added for the specified game.
Practice squad: Tanner Hudson (TE); Sean Clifford (QB); Josh Johnson (QB); Kentrel Bullock (RB); Jordan Moore (WR); Noah Thomas (WR). A practice-squad listing does not establish a game-day elevation.
