I don't think the Bengals good offensive play in Week 3 was a coincidence based on the following:

29.3% play action usage (13.7% in first 2 weeks)
8 pass plays from under center (9 total first 2 weeks)
19 plays from 12 personnel (18 total first 2 weeks)

That's how I went as well. He was an absolute menace

For me, its Trey Hendrickson. Dude was a one-man wrecking crew out there. Had Flacco in his crosshairs all day. The forced fumbles, and the different ways he got them, were impressive. Throw in the fact the guy plays through pain, best FA signing EVER, in my opinion!

Acting just like he did with the steelers that cost them 15 yards.  Tried to pull out Sauce's mouthpiece.  Just being bratty because he had an off day.  Focus on the next snap and don't take the bait from the opponent.  

I went with Burrow just because he finally looked like himself today and played well. I almost went with Hendrickson though.

That said, Hendrickson gets my vote.

If Offensive play calling in the 1st half were an option, it would get an honorable mention.

Amazing what the team can do when not using an 8th grade playbook.

Yep, makes you wonder why Mixon can't do that. 

Love it when there are several deserving players to choose from but Hendrickson gets my vote this week.

I wish my girl loved me the same way Zac Taylor loved Perine. If he becomes a better asset than Mixon, play him. But pounding the rock like that is the expectation and more common in most other teams. It's just that the Bengals have sucked so bad at it at late that it seems like a herculean feat. 

Lmao.... bullshit. Everyone in the building knew we were running the ball, and Perine STILL averaged 5YPC. The difference? Not play calls, it's called getting behind your pads and going north and south instead of "being patient". 

I voted Hendrickson, but I would have split my vote between him and the O line. Haven't seen PFF grades, but what a difference a clean pocket makes. Run blocking at the end also gives me hope.

You and me both, brother.

FWIW, PFF rated him our best Offensive Player in the Jets game

And little things like this don’t even show up on the box score.

I appreciate Sameje Perine making sure La'el Collins got the call in the same situation this week. pic.twitter.com/fscEBHiM8u

We've (Fans) been trying to get rid of Perine for years....

Perine was also dragging defenders for extra yards turning 3 yard runs to 5. Something Mixon doesn't do (consistently anyway).
