First time in franchise history Bengals start 7-0. You go into Pittsburgh and you can expect and ugly game. WTS there were some that shined. So who get Steeler’s Game Ball:

AJ GREEN: 11 catches, 118 yards, 1 TD
JEREMY HILL: 15 carries for 60 yards
REGGIE NELSON: 5 tackles, 2 INTs
ADAM JONES: 5 tackles, shut down his side of the field and Antonio Brown
VONTAZE BURFICT: The QB of the D is back. Had to play more snaps than planned when Maul went down
VINNY REY: Team high 8 tackles and 1 PD.
MIKE NUGENT: 10 total points (would have been 13 if Winston could stay still)

My game ball goes to Burfict. He played well and led the D today.

Nelson.

Though it could easily be the defense as a whole or Reggie in particular, I say AJ because a lot of those 118 yards came with a high price physically.  They hit the shit out of him on those short passes and he kept coming back for more.

This is a hard game to pick. I actually want to say Jeremy Hill, even though he was tremendously underutilized, he performed the best.

Low scoring game. I'm going to throw some support at Nuge. Should have been 4 for 4 on FG's.

Nelson Clutch INTS

Defense as a whole possible? They really bailed out the offense this game.

They lead off with a big shit bomb but was glad to see they pulled it together. Peerman Burfict and Nelson were great today.

Nelson. The defense played great today, but the 2 INTs is what won the game IMO

Have to Go with Nelson, he played great all day, big reason we only gave up 10 points, and our other safeties also played a great game.

I have to vote for the entire defense.

Nelson. Him and Hall came to play today.

Williams. His INT turned the tide.

AJ Green. I would have picked Nelson, but he whiffed big time on a run up the middle by Williams. Pissed me off.

Shawn Williams? He earned his INT. And at a critical time too.

Reggie Nelson has been a Steeler Killer his whole career.

Ben loves him some Reggie.

No doubt AJ was the offensive MVP

But the defense won that game and Nelson had 2 picks and both were huge. He also seemed to be in the right place all day today

Adam Jones did shut down Brown for the most part after the first series and played great (all pro level again) today

The Nugent block FG was too low and on him in my opinion

Nelson takes it for me with AJ a close second. Those were some hard fought yards for AJ. Everyone on that list chipped in though. Hill had some good runs and Burfict looked good. So nice to have him back.
