I say we should use the fake punt.  Lots of teams have gotten big plays from fake punts, and in fact the Bengals used to have a good bit of success with the fake punt.

But here is the new wrinkle we throw in to really confuse them.  .  .  .  We run it on first down.

I think just going for it more on fourth down will be necessary, as long as it isn't fourth and long.  The Bills got conservative on one fourth and short late and it cost them.  This game is all about possessions, and if the Bengals can get one or two more possessions, they have a very good shot.

As far as plays, I think Boyd is a very capable thrower of the ball.  I would like to see an end-around where Boyd airs it out to Chase (if they bite...if not, eat it and run the ball).  

Remember, Burrow had 440 yards passing and 4 TDs against this team.  The owness will likely be on the defense getting creative, and if they can come out with what frustrated them the second half and be successful with it, that would be huge.

Lastly, can't drop two sure INTs this game.  Catch those balls like they did against the Titans and that would go a long way to sending the Bengals to the big game.
