It has to go to Trey Hendrickson.
He wreaked havoc all day long and forced multiple holding calls.

But in all seriousness, Joe burrow moving the chains with his legs was nice to see. I havent seen him scramble that well since before his knee was shredded

It wasn't a gift. QB clearly contacted him after he possessed it and was going down.

It was not clearly
Lock didn’t touch Kareem
We were gifted and I’m happy about it

Germaine Pratt gets my vote. He was a beast against the pass and the run.

The sequence at the end of the first half may have won it. Denver misses a FG, lets the Bengals get in position for one,and McPherson nails a 57-yarder! Irish pride!

Kicker it is & I'm glad the Bengals aggressively used a pick on him rather than hoping they could sign him as a UDFA.

Got him on the back of the neck/shoulder area. CBS showed a clear replay of it after the replay announcement was made.

Evan got my vote. You draft a kicker and that's how it should be. Great job.

I'll give it to Kicker McKickington. When you set a franchise record and the rest of the players who are being paid to score come up a bit short...well, you win the gameball.

Germaine Pratt was an monster out there today. Just an absolute tackling machine, and he had a defended pass that was as nice as you’ll see from any DB. He gets my vote.

McPherson pretty easy for me. Hendrickson would be #2. Maybe he didn’t end up with great stats? He definitely had a big impact as usual.
Apple also had some big pass breakups. Not player of the game category but deserves mention after the s**t he took early this year (mostly deserved but still)

Yep. He definitely made contact. You can call it a stupid rule, as it had no effect on the play, but they called it correctly.

I went Tyler Boyd. Dude has been neglected all year and then they call his number and he performs. That may have been another piece coming together.
