Voted Chase. A long TD was simply a 1st down without his moves and tackle breaking. Effort was outstanding.

I agree. It's hard to give it to a wideout as they all did well. If not for Chase's amazing spin move for a TD, he has 8 catches for around 100 yards. Higgens with 7 catches for 62. Uzo 3 for 91 and 2 TDs. But if you give it to a receiver, it's a tossup between Chase and Uzo. Uzo had 2 huge TD plays to take the lead. Chase with the one big TD to blow the lead open, and consistently getting open when needed.
Burrow made it all happen though. He was under duress all game, and still threw for 400 and 3 TDs against a great defense. Entire offense played well though. Burrow (and the receivers collectively) sparked it. And the coaches did a good job attacking where they had an advantage (passing game) with the play calling.

I personally think it should be a specific player, but people vote for coaches and entire position groups all the time.

I voted Chase, but these are good points.

Yes, he's the best WR.

Yup.
Chase doesn't have that day with Allen under center. I said this week 1, I've never found myself voting for a WR since no matter how great his day is, he had a guy throwing it to him that has better numbers unless he only targets one WR.

You can't take away Chase's spin move TD though. Obviously he had someone throwing to him, but he accounted for what?... 40% of the total yards today? Joe's numbers are pedestrian today minus Ja'Marr's insane contribution too.

Zac gave his game balls to
1) JoeyB
2) Ja'Marr Chase
3) The defense...all of them
I haven't decided yet....way too many excellent choices all of whom deserve it. I'm kind of leaning towards other to vote for the aven who was called for the roughing penalty against Joe. That seemed to wake up the entire offense and they were virtually unstoppable after that

You know it was a big day when 91 yards and 2 scores doesn't get you a game ball.

Too hard to pick one. Dominating performance all around. Im really really loving CJ these days too. He only catches a few balls a game but he somehow finds the endzone

He quietly has one less TD than Chase this year.

It’s hard to pick. Normally, any of these guys with with their performances this week, but of all of them, Chase was the most impressive, IMO. ROY

Lots of deserving guys, but it was Burrow that didn't get rattled early on with getting hit a lot and three drops. He stayed poised and told Martindale to be quiet because an adult was speaking.
