In Joey’s SB, his defense held the opponent to 23, his RB averaged just under 5 ypc, he enjoyed a 2-0 turnover advantage, and he had the best WRs in the league. What else does he need? An officiating crew full of Bengals fans?

No. Mediocre should be the floor. His defense was good. Mixon's statline was 15/72/0/4.8. The run game overall was 20/79/0/4.0. His Oline was dogshit, similar to Mahomes in the 2020 SB.
Burrow failed in the SB to extend a lead or to drive for a GWFG. As Stone Cold says, that's the bottom line but i can give him a break because he was under constant pressure in the 2nd half and he was sacked 7 times in the game (5 in the 2nd half, i believe). The Bengals had 1 of those 3 areas that played well enough to win. Just like Mahomes had in the 2020 SB that they lost.
