Yeah, I wouldn't say he was particularly 'on it' yesterday, the offence went nowhere most of the 2nd half. But he led the drives which mattered and critically committed no turnovers. Nothing close to one either I don't think. Similarly to how he was in the playoffs last year to a point, not always an offence which moved the ball, but they didn't give it away much either.

Bengals 2020 draft:
Burrow 1 (1)
Higgins 2 (33)
Wilson 3 (65)
Davis-Gaither 4 (107)
Kareem 5 (147)
Adeniji 6 (180)
Bailey 7 (215)
Perfectly reasonable to wonder if this is the strongest Bengals draft class ever. All of them have made a difference, and six are on the team now.
A dream draft that one right? Franchise QB. A very strong WR#2. Wilson is a gamechanger. Davis-Gaither plays well. Maybe the best Bengals draft ever yes.
