Winners:
Lou - going into Sunday there was a distinct possibility he'd be unemployed today. Instead the D kept the Titans to 20 points (a more impressive achievement than scoring 31 on the Titan's D) and his job is likely now safe until at least the end of the season
Turner - similar to Lou, an ugly defeat in which Burrow repeatedly got hit would likely see his NFL career over, instead his O-line took all the plaudits and he has a stay of execution until the end of the season.
Zac - completing a coaching clean sweep, that was a huge win - against a 5-1 team - that instills belief in the Zac Taylor project and one where his play-calling and game plan was an asset rather than hindrance.
Losers:
Mixon - this O looks better without him on the field, although maybe he's a winner having already signed his contract
Thomas/Erickson/Ross - Tate has sown up that WR4 spot
Redmond - not a reflection on his performance but of the Bengals having options - he's always going to be the first man to make way when they do
