We should also not forget great half time adjustments especially by defense. ML and Austin deserve some love.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Hands down it has to go to Mixon.
Without an effective run game to spell the defense there was no way they play like that late in the game. He was effective as a runner and also scored a TD with a Alonzo draped on him.
Really he should have had 2 touchdowns but for some reason we throw from the 2 yard line.

Offense: Joe Mixon (22 carries for 93 yards; 3 catches for 22 yards; 1 TD)
Tough first half for him, but looked back to form in the 2nd half with some support from the OL later in the game.
Defense: Sam Hubbard (3 solo tackles; 1 TFL; 1 TD)
It's exciting to see him stepping up in a big way for this defense.
Special Teams: Randy Bullock (2/3 FGs; one FG over 50 yards, one FG blocked up the middle, and one FG to take our first lead in the 4th qtr; 3/3 PAT)
With the blocking giving him some time to kick, Bullock was solid for the day. They way that he has been kicking, I have total confidence that the other FG would have been good from that distance. His kickoffs have been deep, and his PATs have been clutch (unlike many other teams in the league that are struggling to make the longer extra points)

The whole D line in the 4th qtr. but since that wasn't an option I went Geno.

Easily Andy, even if he looked shaky for part of the day. He came up big when it mattered most

Was going to give a shout-out to Randy as well, so thanks for doing it first.
Actually voted for MJ for game ball, for single-handedly bringing back that PBS crowd from the dead, but props to Andy as well for having to run for his life today yet still getting the job done.
Hell, a game ball for the whole team as well. When Miami went up 17-0 it was ugly, and that stadium felt as flat as a 30 year old Pepsi. But, dammit, they put their heads down and just kept shoveling! Who F'n Dey! :andy:

Michael Johnson had a nice stuff and amazing TD. He actually forced the pick by his pressure and then got the INT not sure if that has ever happened before on the same play.

I went with Geno, but there's no wrong answer this week. A lot of guys stepped up to get this win.

Gotta go with MJ. His first TD after all these years and being a classy unselfish team guy. Shout out to Fat Randy.

I would have to give it to the defense. The energy they brought, spilled over to the offense. The one thing I notice about Andy everytime, is if he is looking sharp early on in the game and then throws an int, or some other type of turnover you can almost guarantee it sticks with him the rest of the game. Luckily,our d bailed us out and gave Andy regained confidence in himself again. I don’t know how the hell mixon came up with that td pass, but I’ll take it.

Hubbard also knocked down a pass at the line.

So who you got:
Andy Dalton: 248 yards and a miracle TD
Joe Mixon: Back off the shelf for over 110 yards from scrimmage and a TD
AJ Green: 6 catches for 112 yards
Sam Hubbard: 3 tackles and a game sealing TD
Michael Johnson: 4 tackles and a game tying pick 6
Geno Atkins: 2 sacks
When the defense scores more TDs than the offense, no one on the offense can have a game ball. In addition, the defense gave up fewer points than it scored. That's pretty damn good.

I struggle to give the game ball to someone with one good play (as amazing as those two separate plays were).
I wanted to give it to Mixon, but then we didn't win this game because of the offense, so that seems wrong too.
So I settled on Geno. He didn't make any of the game changing plays, but his constant pressure up the middle indirectly helped in both defensive touchdowns as well as just being a force in the game overall, especially in the 2nd half.
Not sure if he deserves it over MJ or Sam, but it feels right.

I voted Mixon but if i could, i'd vote for Johnson and Hubbard to teach the DBs how to hold on to passes that are thrown to you.

Dunlap all the way. He made the play of the game. He's not even in the poll!!
