1.) Joe Burrow- 91.4 What else can you say about Burrow other than the league should be scared to death now that he has adapted to the two deep safety look and can beat you any number of ways.

2.) Tee Higgins- 89.1 I have heard rumblings that Tee was in the coach's ears trying to explain what he was seeing and how they could exploit it. Talk about 150 yards the hard way. No bombs, but one 33 yard reception. Great overall game and much needed, by Tee.

3.) Jonah Williams- 78.5 Total surprise here, but maybe Jonah is feeling better with the injured knee earlier in the season.

4.) Trenton Irwin- 74.6 Only 3 receptions, but they were huge (on 4 targets). So fricking cool to see Burrow and guys so happy for him when he got a game ball.

5.)Joe Mixon- Only 14 snaps, but a strong 70.7. Oddly, he had a 90.0 in the receiving game. Perine had a 69.5 in the pass game. Did they get them mixed up?

Top 5 on Defense:

1.) Germaine Pratt 91.5 Holy shyt! Pratt was dominant and they really needed him to be.

2.) Trey Hendrickson 79.6 Trey really seemed to turn it on in the 2nd half, and helped to seal the win. Great game.

3.) Sam Hubbard 78.3 Loves to beat up the steelers. Great game by the DEs.

4.) Logan Wilson 68.1 Score doesn't seem indicative of his impact. The steelers sure respect him because they rarely challenged him.

5.) BJ Hill 65.8 Solid overall game

Others:

DJ Reader a 46.2 I think PFF doesn't understand his role a lot of the time. The LBs don't have the games they did without Reader occupying the middle.

CTB: 58.6 12 tackles, but one BS penalty probably hurt his score. Rated ahead of Bates and Apple.

Cam Sample: 58.1 Played 32 snaps, did well in his opportunity.

Cordell Volson 41.1 Thought he looked a lot better than that. A measly 14.1 in pass blocking. 55.1 in run blocking

La'el Collins 61.5 with a score over 70 in the run game. Thought this was his best game.

Ted Karras- 55.6 An odd 78.7 in pass blocking, but a 47.3 in run blocking. Wonder how much of that was running in to a really loaded box.

Pratt's performance against the run was the best i've seen from a Bengals LB in years.  Probably since early Burfict.  Attacking and sniffing out lanes like a MONSTER.

Where did people see the game ball to Irwin? He deserved it for sure and he really did make some big plays for us last night the catch and run down the sideline was very nice.

The guy has shown flashes over his career and has been an at least average player. Hes only 25.

That said he played really well this week and it was exactly what he and the team needed. If he plays close to that the rest of the way no one will remember the first half of his season.

He has needed to hit the gym since before he was here and every year, that gut keeps getting bigger but his arms and his chest don't. The physical difference between him and Rieff last year was night and day. I had hoped that some of Rieff's conditioning regime was copied by Jonah but no such luck.



Spain and Hopkins.
Last snaps in the NFL were as starters in the Super Bowl and no one wants either.
Billy Price and Cedric Ogbuehi have jobs.
That's how bad this O-line was last year.
Williams was the best leftover of THAT.
Hit the gym, dude. Don't make that SB loss the highlight of your career.

^^^^^Almost every time they show the o-line walking to the line when going from right to left on the TV screen.

LOL at "see what you want to see" . . . Like I want to see THAT out of shape millionaire. If you have any other ideas why he leads the league in most sacks given up, let's hear them.
