Some things I was able to surmise...

1.  Looks like Mixon (and O-line) is still struggling with the run game.  I see they had 1st and Goal from the 6 and couldn't punch it in.
2.  Did Tyler Boyd really throw a pass to Chase?  (Was it a WR sweep that turned into a pass play?)
3.  Was nice to see Boyd and Hurst get some receptions, but what happened to Higgins, is he hurt again?
4.  Looks like neither team sacked the QB much.

Anyhow, can those who watched the game give me some unbiased summary/analysis of how the Bengals looked?
There's only so much information one can extract from brief text descriptions of each play.

1) run game struggled, but Miami is pretty good against the run too. Our struggles against one of their strengths didn't bode too well. Mixon missed a couple of big holes too though.

2) Yes. They sold the WR sweep with Chase in motion and stopping briefly to make it look like he was going to block. Sucked the LBs in and froze the safety a second and Boyd made a beautiful throw.

3) I'm not sure what you mean there, Higgins was our best player on offense.

4) Our pass pro looked much improved. Theirs was pretty good and they were getting it out quickly. Secondary had a good night overall.
