Vonn Bell played some old fashioned AFC North football out there. Watching him light up Juju Smith-Schuster was beautiful.

It's gotta be Finley. He'll never get another one. Give it to him!

Finley deserves an honorable mention, but not a game ball. I did miss part of the first half, but he looked like shit most of what I saw.

I can't even give a game ball to one player and I gotta go the boring route and give it to the team because, yes, a lot of players made big plays, but I feel like they were just feeding off each other and wanting to play for the guys next to them for once.
When they'd make a play, a bunch of people were there to celebrate.
It just felt like they took pride in their play against a hell of a team and our biggest rival.

Ugh this was a tough one. I voted MAC because of the pick, and goading Pitt into a penalty and back to back pass breakups, but I can't argue with Vonn Bell either. Dude is starting to be our tone setter which we desperately need!

Gio and the defense deserve the game ball. Finley made a few gutsy plays but overall he was awful. He missed guys on deeper routes on at least 3 plays I can think of. Dude just has a noodle arm.

Let's save the "Finley sucks" for the numerous threads addressing that matter. This thread is to award a game ball

I only saw the Gio TD’s on the highlights, but my favorite play he made was pushing Finley over the line for a 1st late in the game. They had us stopped. Dude just does all the little things that go unappreciated.

I gave my vote. Just also mentioned he probably shouldn’t have made the poll is all.

Gotta go Finley.
Came in against the league's #2 defense, didn't look rattled, didn't slide when he ran the ball and took hits trying to get extra yards, and just led our team to victory!
Gio and Bell got honorable mentions.

Right, and I’m pointing out why I disagree with those voting for him. I didn’t realize we were supposed to just vote and not discuss any further.

He definitely is not great, but he made enough plays to capitalize on turnovers and huge TD run. I will lay off on making fun of him. He has earned his last name of Finley back over Thinley.

Finley. No turnovers against the #1 defense in the league. He played smart and made a few clutch plays.
