Dalton, 2014.

Gio. For all the previously mentioned points. The Thin man had one great run and the rest was just game management mostly. The D was surprising but that seemed to be more of a collective effort.

Vonn Bell. My night was made on that one play.

I think the Bell hit set the tone of the game but to see Gio comeback and do his thing was a thing of beauty.

I voted for Vonn Bell. To me it had to be a defensive player given that the defense set the tone and gave the offense a short field several times. Considered Philips and Lawson as well.
As for Taylor, I believe his wife is posting on the board.

I give A game ball, not the only one, to Josh Bynes. His TFL on 3rd and 1 at the end of the 3rd Qtr turned the momentum enough to get our offense going at the start of the 4th that led to Finley's 23 yard TD run.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

Big play. Probably the best of his season.

Bell, that one play made this season sting a little less.

As well as Finley played, and as much as I loved Vonn Bell and MAC's performances last night, I have to give the game ball to Gio. Pissburgh pretty much knew we were going to run the ball heavily, and he still managed to push through the pile all night long and move the sticks. He's got to be worn out this morning.

Im gonna go with Josh Bynes. He was coming downhill
The whole game and really was setting a tone.
That stop on 3rd and 1.is something the Steelers
Always convert vs the Bengals in the past.
Nick Vigil couldnt have done what Bynes did last night

I have spent my entire adult life waiting for a Bengal to hit a Stiller like that.

I'd give it to the secondary as a whole... They really set the tone last night. Props to everyone though...

It was a good win, but only because the defense played so well. The offense gained 17 points off turnovers.
I will give props to Taylor for calling more run plays given Finley has a noodle arm, but I doubt this team comes close to winning without the turnovers.
I'd give the game ball to Anarumo before I give to Taylor.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Agree, but to counter...I wonder how last week goes without 3 fumbles to open?

Gio Bernard: 97 total yards 2 TDs
Mac Alexander: 6 tackles. 1 INT, 1 PD, 1 taunting JuJu
Darius Phillips: 4 tackles, 3 PDs
Vonn “Ring My” Bell: 7 tackles, 1 FF, 1 making JuJu his female dog
They all had amazing games, but the guy that didn't necessarily fill the stat sheet but everything worked off his relentless pressure: Carl Lawson. Piggy is going to see #58 in his nightmares for some time. Poor, fat piggy...maybe its time to go to slaughter?

Several years ago, when Chris Crocker was the starting SS, he laid the wood on a Steelers receiver on a slant. I think it was Holmes, but not sure.
