Another strong game for CTB. Him and Chido could be a very good duo next season.

CTB is coming on strong ! With Chido and Hilton could be a pretty good set of CB's

Despite the loss, it was another gem of a performance from Cam Taylor-Britt.

Was targeted 5 times, but allowed just 1 catch for 13 yards, plus one pass break-up.

Mahomes had a 39.6 passer rating when targeting Taylor-Britt. pic.twitter.com/SLQZ51FZsa

Dude hits like a tank. Love it

Losing Boyd really hurt

Apple had a better game than Hilton

Hilton had a rough game, but Bates was probably the worst player on the defense yesterday. He was terrible.

few will acknowledge Apple's good game

I thought Hilton was worse only cause I didn't realize Bates was on the field 

Hilton got flat out torched all game. That might have been his worst game in Cincinnati. When he dove and caught the tipped INT at the line only to have it jar out of his hands when hit the ground, I had a strange feeling that told me that this is not going to be his day and I was right.

The last time that they tackled this bad as a unit was last season's Mike White paper cut to death.

One of the quietest days was Logan Wilson. He seemed to be several steps behind everything.

Glad to see his coverage skills improving.

Mahomes vs Burrow (not excited about dropping this grenade)

Mahomes had three big time throws (likely the Toney drop, MVS touchdown, MVS deep crosser) and one TWP (fumble).

Burrow had the same. Slightly surprised the first INT wasn't one pic.twitter.com/ugMNBctONg

Mahomes having a 71.2 PFF grade and Burrow having a 86.6 PFF grade is pretty wild, to be honest. The fumble must have cost Mahomes at least 5 to 10 points.

Glad the bengals saw my posts about CTB lol

That was one heck of a hit early. Love how physical CTB plays. Like you said, could be a great duo with him and Chido.

I couldn’t believe how bad Hilton was playing. He has been a stud for us, hell I had him as our X factor player in this game. What happen to Flowers? Was he still out with an injury?

I think Hilton's focus might have been bothered by all the "Burrowhead" stuff he was asked about.. No other reason to think why could have played so poorly.

It makes no sense for there to be that big of a disparity between the two. Even Burrow being a head is a bit questionable but that far ahead is a head scratcher. 

I'm not sure how he graded, but the eye test said Carman had another good game. Looks way better than Jonah for sure and he did much better than I thought against speed.

He did and is developing very nicely considering he missed most of the season.

Yet wish he would have caught that pick 6 when given the opportunity. 

I called out PFF on twitter last week or the week before. I said we are playing in the AFC Championship and some lower level players grades are ridiculously low for the year on a 14-4 (then) team. I said a half dozen players or so have horribly low grades for the year.
