The Bengals won a very physical game today.
Hayden Hurst, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins, and Chidobe Awuzie were all injured today. Mike Hilton came out of the game with an injury too.
The second string came to play. I’m so impressed with Trenton Irwin, Trent Taylor, Mitchell Wilcox, and especially Cam Taylor-Britt.
For decades we’ve seen games when Cincinnati starters either can’t start or have to leave the game due to injury and the talent falloff between starters and backups is huge. Now quality play still continues at a high level even following substitutions. The only starter to backup falloff which concerns me is from Joe Burrow to Brandon Allen. There’s such a huge “delta” between those two players. It behooves the Bengals to keep Joe clean and upright.
