All around great game by the boys today and way to get our first win. Lot's of nominees for game ball; but just like Highlander, There can only be one:
Joe Burrow: 25/36 for 300 yards, 1 TD, 92.4 passer rating
Joe Mixon: 185 Total yards, 3 TDs
Jordan Evans: Got 1 of everything, tackle, sack, INT,
Jesse Bates: 10 tackles
Randy Bullock: 4/4 XP 3/3 FG 15 points
Alex Redmond: Obviously the glue that holds the Oline together

Would love to give it to our rookie QB with a much deserved first win, but Mixon was the man today

Mixon no doubt, but shoutout to Boyd for keeping drives alive.

Joe Mixon with 3 Touchdowns won the day but it could have easily been Joe Burrow if not for a couple of bad gaffs.

Obviously I voted Joe in the poll, what a day he had. However, I'd like to give an Honorable Mention to the OL, as a unit, for actually showing up today. They kept Joe B. mostly clean, and gave Joe M. some lanes to run through, nice job OL.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Obviously Mixon with those numbers.
But low key the o-line deserves it as well for allowing Mixon and Joe B to do what they did. (only because of how crap they were the first 3 games)

It was Joe for sure, Mixon that is.
Maybe next game Sample will grow a pair and it'll be the other Joe ?

Went with Mixon, but whole O-line deserves cred. They usually get blasted but played a solid game. Not amazing, but solid. Big task next week against a much better Defense.

Mixon got it for me but definitely a shout out to the OL and Redmond. He's a better blocker than Johnson or Price. Shame they couldnt see that "before" season started. Jim Turner....

I give it to the entire offense.
Burrow got his first win and played a hell of a game.
Boyd had some nice catches. The other receivers were also solid.
The line played their best game of the year and gave Burrow time to make plays and opened holes for Mixon.
Mixon ran like a man possessed.
Let's play with some confidence and build on this game!

Sample letting a ball be taken away from him that resulted in an INT instead of a TD.
And a Hopkins holding penalty that negated a Boyd TD.
