Easiest one of the season so far. Mixon.

Chase
Gave the offense the heartbeat it really needed with the big plays. Plus that high effort block made that TD.
Still not sure why Zac decides he requires the offense to sputter for 20+ minutes before the Bengals are allowed to try to go to Chase deep (who seems to be open every time).

Mixon was the man today, but quite a few honorable mentions as well.

It’s not Zac’s decision to throw the ball, though. He can call a play that sends Chase deep but that doesn’t mean the ball is going to Chase.

I chose Mixon, even though I said someone else in the GD thread. Mixon hate runs deep in some people, though. Have to off set that.

Mixon got us those tough yards today and kept the Lions on the bench. Honorable mention to Evans for that great TD catch and some tough yards of his own.

Zac gave his game balls to Vonn Bell and Logan Wilson for their combined INT for changing the tone of the game
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

Everyone mentioned had a nice game, but it was the Joe Mixon show today. Just shy of 100 on the ground, and he was our 2nd leading receiver. He was running over dudes all game.

Chase did 2 "small" things that impressed me today. The block was a 10 on a scale of 1-10.
Even though he was most likelt responsible for Joe's INT, he picked himself up and hustled downfield to get in on the tackle

Game ball to the Bengals fan who lost his cell phone while getting a High-Fiver from Uzomah after the TD.

Kid doesn’t quit and he will do whatever is needed. Best attitude I’ve seen from a star WR in a while.

I’m going to say Burrow. He is killing me with the turnovers but his efficiency otherwise is incredible. Another game with a high YPA (9.3) and TD% (10%). If he can just cut out the damn turnovers, he will finish as a top five QB this season.

I gave it to Hendrickson. Mixon is a good choice, but I cannot say enough how good of a game Hendrickson had today.

Joe Mixon with an underrated game. He could not be stopped short.

Crazy how Burrow looks so bad in the 1st half of games and ends up with numbers like that. He'd kill it with a complete game..
