My game ball goes to Burfict. He played well and led the D today.

Though it could easily be the defense as a whole or Reggie in particular, I say AJ because a lot of those 118 yards came with a high price physically. They hit the shit out of him on those short passes and he kept coming back for more.

This is a hard game to pick. I actually want to say Jeremy Hill, even though he was tremendously underutilized, he performed the best.

Low scoring game. I'm going to throw some support at Nuge. Should have been 4 for 4 on FG's.

Defense as a whole possible? They really bailed out the offense this game.

They lead off with a big shit bomb but was glad to see they pulled it together. Peerman Burfict and Nelson were great today.

Nelson. The defense played great today, but the 2 INTs is what won the game IMO

Have to Go with Nelson, he played great all day, big reason we only gave up 10 points, and our other safeties also played a great game.

AJ Green. I would have picked Nelson, but he whiffed big time on a run up the middle by Williams. Pissed me off.

Shawn Williams? He earned his INT. And at a critical time too.
When I die, I will get to shake Mr. Paul Browns hand and hear him say "Damn, you never stopped believing, did you?"

No doubt AJ was the offensive MVP
But the defense won that game and Nelson had 2 picks and both were huge. He also seemed to be in the right place all day today
Adam Jones did shut down Brown for the most part after the first series and played great (all pro level again) today
The Nugent block FG was too low and on him in my opinion
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.

Nelson takes it for me with AJ a close second. Those were some hard fought yards for AJ. Everyone on that list chipped in though. Hill had some good runs and Burfict looked good. So nice to have him back.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
