That OL was insane and remained fully intact and injury-free in 2022. They also had one of if not the best 1-2 punches at WR (also healthy), though Smith by himself is not what I'd call a difference-maker.
And... let's not forget what was bar none the easiest schedule the NFL has produced in a long time (though this applies for us to an extent, Jacksonville got a lot better by the time we played them and of course we also played the Bucs when they were still good and Cincinnati as well).
Bottom line, their QB's decision-making was greatly simplified as a result of their strength and continuity, and he was able to choose his moments to sprinkle in both runs and big plays w
ithout pressure.
Not fully intact and injury free. They lost Lane Johnson and looked pedestrian while he was gone. Still don't know how he came back and played because I thought he was done for the year.
