Joe Burrow: 25/36 for 300 yards, 1 TD, 92.4 passer rating

Joe Mixon: 185 Total yards, 3 TDs

Jordan Evans: Got 1 of everything, tackle, sack, INT,

Jesse Bates: 10 tackles

Randy Bullock: 4/4 XP 3/3 FG 15 points

Alex Redmond: Obviously the glue that holds the Oline together

I would have gone with Mixon, but I think Boyd was the guy that wasn't putting up with it today.  Not only did he have 7 huge receptions on 8 targets, but he blocked like a man possessed.  I think he has taken the mantle from Green (who probably should be benched in favor of Mike Thomas and Tate at this point....offers nothing) in terms of leadership, but he is a complete player that is Burrow's Mr. Reliable.  

I would like to see Mike Thomas get a bit more involved (and Tate in the Red Zone and 3rd downs...) on outside receiver routes.  Someone pointed out the TD he had against Ward and I feel like teams are going to start cheating to the middle of the field as that is where Burrow eats the most. 

BTW, that crossing route to Higgins at full speed where he never broke stride.  I watched that about 15 times.  Absolute thing of beauty.
