They beat the Steelers in Pitt, had a come from behind win, and won with a long FG in OT.  With luck and confidence, we will see steady ongoing improvement over the next 4 games


MVP not named Joe Burrow- Trey Hendrickson: a game-changer on defense.

OPoQ- Joe Burrow: couldn't leave him out entirely

DPoQ-Logan Wilson:  2nd in NFL in INTs with 3, 6th in tackles with 40

Rookie- Ja'Marr Chase: 4TDs and return of the long ball in Cincinnati

Coach- Al Golden: I thought about Lou here but gave it to Golden because the LBs as a group are night and day different from last year with the same players  

Moment- that first long pass to Ja'Marr in the Minnesota game.  I think the entire fandom let out a collective breath of relief with the throw and more importantly the catch

Good stuff.  The only thing I might change is OPoQ to Chase and Rookie being Legs Benedict Mcfearless Mcmoney the first.  

Defensive player absolutely has to be Wilson.  

Coach, I am giving it to Lou.  So many doubts, but the defense has been EXCELLENT with "his guys".  He played a lot of rookies last year and a few this year, and he is showing he can get it done.  Will be a huge test against Green Bay.

About that Green Bay game.....I will say it now:  With Awuzie and Higgins out there, they have a real shot, and if that real shot is executed and they pull out a win....Well, they are going to the playoffs, my friends.
