QBs do have control over their sack and pressure rates. Even if we eliminate the fumble and account for the rushing TD, we get a rating of 89. That’s kind of janked together, converting the rushing TD into a passing TD. There are other things such as the Chase drops I’m accounting for that I am just now thinking of.

I’m willing to change my stance to Joe played well today. He didn’t play great, but he played well. Perhaps the issue is that even playing ‘well’ is a regression from what he was doing earlier in the season because for the first seven weeks he was lighting defenses up.

I put it on the LT. The play design featured the deep crosser which is a delayed route on a 3rd and long. Could have Joey B played it absolutely perfect? Yes but Williams let the weak side edge beat him around the arch on a long route and make a play on the QBs arm. 

PS Deep crossers are prevalent vs 2 deep sets. This was something the Bengals knew would be apart of the game plan.
