Tough choice for me between Tee and Bell, but I’m going with Tee. He was the whole offense for most of the game.
Honorable mention to Logan Wilson. He was a terror out there.

Higgins stepping up! He was open for another touchdown where Joe checked it down to Mixon as well. Higgins is going to top his numbers from last year (when he had a slow first half of the season).
Vonn Bell would be my second choice. Defense played well.

Higgins for me. Beat a good cb on his td and was most of the 1st half offense. He's been playing great past 2 games.

I voted Bell. Honorable mention to the offensive line for keeping Burrow clean for the most part tonight!

Oline stacking up consecutive better performances, that was a stout front tonight. Tee and Bell were awesome, but I voted Joe Burrow. Patience, nice game, helluva response after the week 1 disaster. I piled on him for that bad game, I'mma give him props for tonight. A couple big shots with a lot of patience and taking what the defense gave him.

Wilson, yes he made several big stops. Higgins and Bell. Bell's INT pretty much sealed it.

I picked Higgins but I would have picked Defense if it was listed there in totality.

Great to have choices. Tee was awesome and Joey B is still a tad off.
The defense never gets credit. How many missed interceptions have we seen late in games to seal a win get dropped
Bell is the player of the game and 2 straight games allowing opposing teams 15 or less points.
I can't wait until the offense clicks and they will. But early in the year defense is playing great overall.
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.
First 6 years BB - 41 wins and 54 losses with 1-1 playoff record with 2 teams Browns and Pats

Voted Higgins, but easily could have been Bell. Excellent game by both.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
