The boys knock off a division leader and a team that had been 7-1 in their last 8. So who do we award the Game Ball to:

SAMAJIE PERINE: 93 total yards, 1 TD

TEE HIGGINS: 7 catches, 114 yards, 1 TD

JOE BURROW: 270 passing yards, 32 rushing yards, 1 TD, 0 Turnovers

SAM HUBBARD: 6 tackles, 1 sack, sealed the edge

BJ HILL: 7 tackles on the interior

LOGAN WILSON- 9 tackles, 1 PD

Gotta go with DJ Reader with honorable mention to Trenton Irwin for that circus catch.

Tee Higgins but Zac avoided answering if Perine would start over Mixon next week.

Reader deserves a mention … as does the whole D line. To shut Henry down like that? That was SICK

For me - the game ball goes to the team … as that was truly a team effort to get that W.

CTB


That was the play of the game.

Coaches need to make this a 50/50 backfield with Perine and Mixon. Perine is just big for this team

I want to vote Lou Anorumo and the entire run defense, but I cant

Higgins , he made so may contested catches and high throws

Voting Tee Higgins for coming up big when Bengals needed it the most.

But the run defense was the real MVP

Tee had the big catches when needed.

I figured this one would get a lot of "Others", folks like to do that

Agree completely and believe Perine will be the full-time starter next season

DJ Reader; he batted down four passes and stuffed Derrick Henry like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Other:

DJ Reader.

He was eating double teams (even took 3 guys with him on one play), batted down multiple passes, and just all around made everyone else on defense jobs easier. He’s an absolute beast. I expect to see him as one of the highest graded players in this game.

Mike Hilton was flying around today, too. So shout out to him.

Could have also went with Tee. He had a huge drop early on, and a penalty, but he was clutch after that. Feels like a game where the game ball should go to someone on defense though.

I love seeing Hilton stuff a guy like Henry. 

Higgins. Reader has been a welcome member of the defense, though.

I can’t even imagine trying to bring down Henry at Hilton’s size. Guy is tough as nails.

Perine stiff armed a linebacker into the nether realm. That was beautiful

Marvin Jones needs a game ball too.

X-Bengal helping us out

Hell Zac questioned about the starter next week if Mixon healthy no comment
