The boys dominated on both sides of the LOS today and it shouldn't have been as "close" as it was. So who gets the 9ers Game Ball:
JOE BURROW: 283 passing yards, 43 Rushing Yards, 3 TDs, 134 QBR
JOE MIXON: 87 Rushing Yards, 23 Receiving Yards, 1 TD
JA'MAR CHASE: 10 catches, 100 yards, 1 TD
LOGAN WILSON: 11 tackles, 1 INT, 2 PDs
SAM HUBBARD: 6 tackles, 1 sack

This game reminds me of that playoff game against the Bills last year. Today the entire team played well: Wilson and Pratt with clutch plays; Burrow to Chase; and Mixon with his best game of the year. Burrow won my vote, but I wanted to vote for the entire team.

Voted but I want to shout out the Bengals had 1 penalty against them. That was huge entire team stuff.

Burrow. Just as King Arthur and The Land are one, so it is with Burrow and The Team.

Virtually a 'whole team' kind of performance, but Burrow gets the game ball for me. Ignoring all the content, he played phenomenally... incredibly accurate (I think they quoted 2nd all time franchise, for a QB with out 20 attempts), 3 TDs, no picks and made big plays with his legs.
Including the context... I mean, he looked pretty back to me guys. Pre-Bye Burrow was awful at times, and while he was improving, he wasn't quite there. He was there today and was elite. It was the best case scenario, our QB is fit again, and that lifts the ceiling on our season hopes.

My vote for “Other” goes to Germaine Pratt. His interception of Brock Purdy near the goal line was critical to stopping the 49ers’ momentum.

Joe Burrow
Over 80% completion %. He just wasn't going to be denied.

Burrow. He was elite on the road against a top D.

Agree here. What I saw was that Burrow was getting rocked on some plays, then just popped up like it was no big deal and made a huge play next opportunity. He just seemed more durable overall which is a great comfort over when I was praying that any of the most minimal contact might spell disaster early on.
And now we got two halves of prime Burrow versus just one (as with Seattle). So many questions got answered today and while it was just one game it was a damned important one.

According to the announcers, at 28 out of 32, the second highest completion percentage of any Bengals all time, after Ken Anderson.

Gave it to Burrow. Really good job running the ball too when he needed to.

Although it made me really nervous at times, Burrow seemed to make it a point to put his shoulder down and deliver a blow on those runs as though he wanted to give everyone a clear sign that he is healthy and motivated.
