The Price PFF grade is beyond bad. Price actually was solid and played a lot of snaps.
As far as game ball, definitely #58 Ossai who played like a hungry junk yard dog and beat a very good LT for a sack. We had a lot of guys play well including our entire DL who stuffed the running game for 4 quarters. They helped our LB's by not allowing OL to get to the second level.
I like Irwin, he did not play like 4th string on the depth chart. He may not make team, but should be a PS player if not. I thought our rookies did very well last night, they need to continue to progress as they are the future. I thought the 2 running backs Evans and Patrick played well, Evans has some quick moves and Patrick power. I think if Patrick learns to hit the hole lower, he could be a beast and great goal line back.
On a side note, I loved the chemistry and leadership on display from our starters watching and coaching once they were removed from the game. These guys seem to really like each other which can help a team be successful.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

I'll have to go back and watch the first series or two at least. But really glad to hear the D in particular came out on fire! Would really love to see that right out of the gate this year. Excellent news!
