In the same timeframe:

NFL Research: Joe Burrow leads the NFL since Week 5 with a 4-0 record, 75.8 completion percentage, 10 passing touchdowns and an 111.2 passer rating (minimum three starts).

The two of those things happening at the same time is gonna lead to a lot of wins.

Toughest remaining schedule in the league.

I made a post after week 4 that Hill wasn't generating pressure at his normal rate and, if he doesn't accelerate his stats,he may be a cap casualty in 2024, as he'd be a top 20 paid DT and not performing at top 20 DT production.

Then he played really well against Seattle and I addressed my comment then and retracted it, assuming he continues playing that well.

And he has. And it's great.

Mikey Boy better open his wallet; there’s no salary cap for coaches and coordinators.

Great pick for that defense. Provides exactly what this team needed, more turnovers and excellent DB play.

Knew he was fit for the bengals system.

The offense hasn’t been too bad either, against two top 5 scoring defenses. Averaging 17.25ppg, the offense scored 27.5 PPG. The offense also left 20+ points on the table.

If not for an injury, joe burrow would be the MVP front runner. I’m not sure he can do enough the second half of the season to make up for the horrible first quarter of the season.

And I thought about it last night, not to jinx, but to see them mention how so many Bills are hurt, maybe the, "load management," Zac does in the PS is a good thing for longevity? Not sure, but it may be something that is a necessary evil (sacrifice the first 2-3 games, to be healthy and fresh come playoff time), though I don't necessarily agree with it either.
