Perine's running game is nothing to write home about: he gained only 30 yards on 11 rushes, just 2.7 yards per carry. He caught only 4 passes for 52 yards. Yes, 3 TD, but on passes from Burrow and only 82 yards total for the day.  Burrow had 4 TD passes and 355 yards. I would think the poll would at least be close between the two, if not Burrow ahead.

Awareness, effort, ability to come in and make the big plays.  He really made those plays when it was needed, which was huge.  I still think the offensive success was due to Burrow playing Joe Cool, but Perine did an admirable job stepping up where needed.  Frankly, the whole team did.  It was great to watch.  I out for a beer and finally got the guy behind the bar to switch off the awful Vikings/Boys game for the Bengals and had the bar staff cheering with me.  Fun game to watch, and great energy out of the bye!
