JB has shaken the Brown's curse and with that we'll award a long-awaited Cleveland Game Ball. Who ya got:
JOE BURROW: 239 yards, 2 TDs, without 3 of his top 4 receivers
JOE MIXON: 96 rushing yards at 6.9 YPC, another 10 receiving yards
JAMARR CHASE: 10 catches, 119 Yards, 1 TD
DJ READER: 5 solo tackles, 1 PD, Nick Chubb ran for 2.4 YPC
LOGAN WILSON: Dude just tackled someone else. 17 tackles, .5 sack
CAMERON TAYLOR-BRITT: 6 tackles, 2 PDs, is becoming our #1 CB

DJ Reader was a monster today. Held the best RB in the game to some very pedestrian numbers. He’s performing as one of the best interior linemen in the league at the moment.

Tough call this game. On offense I have to give it to Burrow and Mixon. On defense I'd go Reader and CTB. Bates had the interception, but they didn't do anything with it.

I went with Reader. Ugly game but he was constantly being called out stopping the run. CTB also had himself a game and stepped up. I really thought the oline played well being down Higgins and Boyd giving Burrow the extra time he needed.

I voted for the guy who isn't on the roster, Reeder.. But I hear Reader is going to give Brad spelling lessons after he retires..

I'd say Reader and the defense who came out and didn't allow the Browns to play the type of game they wanted. Just a great game from the defense.

It’s Reader. When he’s on top of his game you just can’t run on this team. It doesn’t matter who the opposing RB is (Henry, Chubb, Hunt, etc), To be able to completely wreck a game plan from the NT position is really something else.
Could have also easily given it to Uno as well for carrying the passing game, but this one goes to the big man.

Well I voted CTB, but Reader and him both shut down the Browns offense most of the game until ours woke up and decided to actually score. This is a game we could have lost against a better team the way we started.

For me it was between Wilson, Chase, and Reader
Got to go with Reader for making Chubb a non factor which was huge for the Bengals

Reader for president Chubb had 34 yards, Hunt had 6 and Reader was a lot of the reason why.
Honorable mention: CTB he's shaping up to be a good un.

I went with Reader. CTB was also deserving. Reader just seemed to be playing on another level today. He's been incredible lately.

Reader was everywhere today.
You can only be bothered by your own thoughts. You can only be p*ssed about your own life.

I went with Reader, he was a monster stopping the great Browns running game and 2 great backs.
Chase was the man on offense today. Our 3rd and 4th options were lost, one prior to the game, then Boyd on 2nd play of the game.
Our rookie CB continues to get better each week.
Wilson was everywhere.
Nice to pile up wins and overcome injuries again.
Joe was not sharp today, but still managed 2 TD's having off (accuracy) day and missing key pieces.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

DJ Reader. Pluggin holes, making tackles off double teams, swatting passes at the LoS. Beast.
On a side note, I made a comment last week about how Pratt has been playing lights out as of late while Logan had sort of taken a backseat. Did someone show him that post or something?! Jeeeeez! 17 tackles?! If Reader wasn’t such a force today, I’d have voted Logan!
