I mean, I know he had at least one drop TD but that Higgins score seems low considering his ability to high point the ball with ease over NE.

Well, PFF liked our D-line depth. Carter's best rated game, for sure.

I did not think Adeniji looked that bad to my eye.

Down Chido & Collins. That stings.

Maybe Adeniji didn't do that good in relief. Volson in the 4th softens Carman in the 2nd.

With Collins out we need someone not named Adeniji cause those scores don't look good.

Trenton Irwin had such an awesome Christmas Eve performance and he was inches from an even bigger one!

? 2 Touchdowns

Hope Irwin keeps on trending, he’s got a bit of a cult hero look about him. Making some great plays.

Adenijis grade makes no sense to me I paid attention to him pretty intently after Collins went out and I only noticed him getting beat once. Ill have to rewatch I guess but 20 pass block grade feels insane.

Hubbard had a 72.9 ? 

I disagree with PFF in plenty of cases, but them having Burrow and Reader being by far the best players on their respective sides of the ball checks out.

Last season I think you could have made a strong case that Chase was our best offensive player, but Burrow has taken another step this year. He’s been lights out even when 1 or 2 of his big 3 and starting TE have been out.

Are you thinking that’s too high or too low? Cause that’s a pretty good grade. Solid starter quality, but not quite Pro Bowl.

I'm glad that Burrow is starting to trust Mitchell Wilcox as a target. That is a positive for when they want to run playaction out of a 2TE package in the playoffs.

I know I've has a couple spiked egg nogs. But I thought Hubbard was out with an injury?

He posted the updated season grades.

I think Sample filled in decently per my eye test.

I don’t pay much attention the O line grades because they really have to be scored as a unit IMO.
Sure you can see tackles get beat on pass plays but it’s hard to tell who was responsible for what on each play. The coaches know but someone outside might not.
I thought the line play was pretty good on pass pro but not nearly as strong run blocking this week.
