Yep. I stand corrected. There are 5 teams tied for 8th with 15 sacks. Bengals being one of them.

I never dreamed he would turn it around so fast, and I was wrong. I don't pretend to be a soft tissue injury expert or a Doctor, but I'm shocked.

But I'm also very happy I was wrong.

It's not like any of us had his medical information... just tweets and vague comments by Joe and the organisation.

But what if Jake had thrown 8 TDs and ran for an additional 200 yards in the game? We would have all forgotten about Joe.. The most expensive clipboard holder in the entire world history of clipboard holders..

Each week before this, they said Joe “looked good” in practice and he came out and looked…not good. And this week it was the same story before the game, it’s one of those things “I’ll believe it when I see it” and boy did we see it on Sunday.

That’s why I always reserve judgment until the end of the game especially when it comes to injuries.

How about the fantasy players who kept Higgins in their lineup?

Keeping a player in, when the news was out there that he had a broken rib was a foolhardy endeavor.  Either that, or you had no other competent options on your bench..

I doubt that he miraculously healed between last game where he looked terrible and this game. Likely he felt somewhat better.

Agree with all of this, but also think Joe was moving better, and driving off his bad leg much better as well. He looked much improved as far as mobility goes to me.

Thank you for pointing that out. I also believe they lead the league in big yardage plays this year on offense.... They weren't a pushover team...
