After 31 years we get to award a playoff gameball. So who gets it.
JOE BURROW: 244 passing yards, 0 INTs, 2 TDs
JAMARR CHASE: 119 receiving yards, 23 yards on the ground
ISAIAH PRINCE: Held Cosby to 1 sack
GERMAINE PRATT: 6 tackles, 1 Int, Covered Waller

That seam throw from Joe Burrow to CJ Uzomah makes this an easy choice.

I said in the game day thread that it should go to Germaine Pratt. Even McPherson at 4 for 4 also deserves a pat on the back<
Zac handed out 2 game balls 1) Mike Brown 2) the Fans
Winning makes believers of us all

Pratt has come a long way and got the ball deservingly for the defense.

Pratt's a sentimental pick due to the game sealing int, but I have to go Chase. He pretty much carried the offense most of the game.

Not sure you used sentimental correctly.

Tough choice. Burrow was super clutch. Uno pretty much carried the offense and had about 37 1st downs. And Pratt had one of the biggest picks in franchise history.
Also a shout out to Bates. He had a couple nice pass breakups at big moments. He came through when we needed him after a bit of a rough season.
Think I’m going with Chase though. After all the bullshit debates, the preseason drops, and all the rest of it, he balled out on the biggest stage. It felt like LSU Joe & Ja’Marr out there.
Lastly, props to Frank Pollack for coaching up an OL with Isiah Prince and Hakeem Adeniji on it. Far, far better Bengals OL’s never played as well as they did tonight.
I’m going to enjoy this one.

Prince was great
Chase was awesome
But Burrow leads this team and does so much more than just throw great passes
He looks and acts like star and always seems to look calm
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.

Burrow for me, led this team to its first playoff win in 31 years. No mistakes and led us to scores on all 4 true first half possessions. Nobody jumped out as amazing today. A true team win, that’s what it takes in the playoffs.

I voted Chase, but 2nd the nomination of Hubbard. Though CJ and Bates were awful good, too.

I gave it to Pratt for sealing the deal.
Honestly this was a TEAM effort.
Whoever had the sack and the TD saving headbutt to the ball.
Money Mac for drilling 4-4.
Burrow for playing Bengals QB and not sucking in a playoff game.
Chase for all the first downs.
As someone else said Jessie Bates on some clutch defense on the final drive.
Prince for allowing only 1 sack. Sounds like it shouldn’t be game ball performance, but the dude is a jumbo package specialist 3rd string tackle making a playoff start.
Also don’t forget Mixon for that 3 yard loss he turned into a first down on our last scoring drive.

Pratt. Biggest play of the past 30 years.
Needed someone on D to step up with all the injuries, and he did so in epic fashion.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

surprised at pratt, but will take it. Burrow was pretty much unstoppable when Zac hit the burrow button.

Uzomah.
Every play he made was clutch and huge for the team.

Burrow. Without a GREAT QB, we don't win.
WHO DEY!
