Good things happen when Sam Perine touches the football.

I voted Burrow but believe the o line was the root cause of the victory

I saw that CTB had 12 tackles and 9 were solo tackles. How did he do in coverage?

Tough one between Burrow and Perine for me. I went with Burrow because he fought through those two fluke picks and continued to have ice in his veins. Perine had himself a game though didn’t he?!

Is there any chance he's back or is he done?

I had to go Burrow. But Higgins and Perine had great nights and we needed it. Also Boyd waited until I mentioned him being a non factor in the GameDay thread to show up and make some clutch plays at the end.
Also I thought it was a good test to see how well the oline improved and I think have. The defense definitely showed back up in the 2nd half which was huge.

I almost went with Perine, but Burrow was just too good not to give it to him. Masterful performance.

One last thing as well. Trayveon Williams showing up on special teams with the returns was a pleasant surprise. Must have been windy with both teams kicking short all night?

Perine did well in the passing game and the TDs. And, of course, TDs are the most important part of the game. But his running left a lot to be desired. 11 carries for 30 yards. But didn't exactly have any holes to run through.

I went with Higgins in big games you need a WR to step up and open up the defense
If not then the defense condenses the offense and the QB is checking down everything

Well, there's a reason he had 9 solo tackles and 0 PDs

I voted for Higgins.... he extended tons of drives. Without his performance I do think we lose this game.

Germaine Pratt for me; he made the Steelers’ run game look bad.

Went with Perine, but again, this is a week where several other selections could also be the right answer.
