So, CLEARLY some adjustments were made. Does anybody know what specifically they changed? The OL definitely played better in the 2nd half. Had they played that way in the 1st half, we would be talking about a Bengals win.

Either way it doesn't change my total evaluation, Hart got wrecked by their good guys (most the time) and played well enough against everyone else. It really is no coincidence our longest throws downfield came when Bosa wasn't on the field (or we were in 7 man protection when he was)

Anything that traveled more than 10 yards down field was either a 6/7 man protection scheme or Bosa wasn't on the field. It is amazing to see the difference when he is on the field and when he isn't. I will say, Bobby Hart won two match ups with Bosa on that final drive (one he held him then Gio chipped him) but he did what he had to do.

In the first half it seemed like Bosa was playing more down then the 2nd half, so as crazy as it sounds the blocking was better but I think it was better for the most part because Bosa wore down and was off the field more.
