Have to be Bell because of that last min FF to save us the game. You could go Irwin, and would have if he got the hat trick.
You could also say JB9 but for as well as he played 1st half, he's almost as much to blame for them to come back in the 2nd.

Who forced that fumble? I have to go back and look, but that’s my pick.

Joe was amazing early but Vonn Bell was a terror for the entire game. Best pass rushing Safety that they've had since Reggie Nelson.

Not sure who to give it to this week. I guess whoever actually ripped the ball out. Other than that, I wouldn't award game balls this week.

Tough because of how the game progressed.. but I'll go with Tee Higgins he was consistent and a threat 1 on 1.

Reader was a big reason why their run game which had been decent before today, wasn’t that good.
But ima go Tee and Bell. I want to go-mvp with Wilson but i hate doing dual MVPs
Whole game MVP is Tee

Tee on Offense, Bell on Defense. Since it is only one, the defense made this game, so I voted for Bell. Offense/Burrow were sub-par after the half.

ESPN shows Bell forced it but Hill recovered.

BJ Hill had the recovery. I thought Reader forced it, but it looks like it may have been Bell.

Tough call.
Irwin stepped up big and made a few nice plays.
DJ Reader was AN ANIMAL and helped the run game a ton, even if it doesn't show up in stats.
Higgins made some nice plays and nice catches.
Bell's strip bailed out the rest of the team and won the game, but it's tough to give it to him for that one play.
I think you gotta mention the offensive line only giving up two sacks against one of the league's best pass rushes! I know that Burrow got away from some sacks and threw some balls away, but they still had a good game.
But you gotta give it to Burrow! He's UNREAL!

Voted for Bell. Burrow did well enough in the first half, and I don't think he deserves to be blamed for the first INT, Boyd clearly lost his route there. That being said I think the offense moved the chains quite well, we just got some bad luck. It happens sometimes.

I know it was badly reviewed, but Bell also had that IG/FF play on Jones earlier in the game as well. I know we're biased but that should have been a FF for Bell and FR for TD by Pratt that the refs messed up.

Look at the poll and then ask yourself: "What does FF mean?"
