Pitcher and Craigthorpe also Zac quickly discussed the play and decided to try it with Tee because he would be 1 on 1 over there.
Zac also said they had runout of plays because of the length of the game. They improvised some plays and had to go back to previous years for a couple of plays. They discussed this with Joe while the D was on the field. I'm not too sure Joe was drawing up anything.
Some just like to attack Zac and make up crap. They showed Zac and Burrow sitting together while our defense was on the field. In reality, Zac was being proactive and not waiting until offense was on the field.
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.

Ian Rapoport is the one who reported Burrow came up with the play along with Pitcher and the WR’s. No one “made anything up.”

Gave my vote to Tee Higgins
Yet really what Burrow is doing is just insane to watch and he is definitely as deserving. Watching Burrow play QB as of late is like watching Leonardo da Vinci create a masterpiece in realtime.
But Joe gets my vote often, so Tee gets the nod this week.

I'm on a Burrow streak and it continued this week. He's on fire. Best Bengals QB season ever.

Tee was awesome and showed today why other teams will break the bank if Bengals decide to not sign him. Add Denver to the I want Tee train.
Tee had a costly fumble, Joe threw 49 passes, no interceptions, sacked 7 times and no fumbles.
Joe wins again for me.
I agree, I couldn't go with anyone else. Burrow won in spite of the horrible game management earlier. Jesus, take the points coach!

I went with Joe. If not for the critical fumble that got Denver right back into the game, I would say Tee.

Ok I might have to change my vote. This is insane while having a broken fibula. Where’s the dude who wanted to cut him and move Mims to LT?

We’re kicking on 3rd and3? Really?
The players are bailing zac out. And none greater than Tee in this game, IMHO.

You always kick on 3rd down in that situation in case there is a fumble, like the holder dropping the ball or a bad snap.
So, the players are doing their jobs and people call it bailing out Zac, right got it...

Had to give it to Tee. Simply because he's made of glass, but didn't get broken this game. Plus his stats were impressive. He almost lost the game, but then helped win it.

Or the "Josh allen" MVP this year taking the 3rd from Lamar. I can see it, maybe. Lamar is 39 TD/4 INT, Joshua only 26/6.
Or the anybody but LeBron from 2012 to 2018

I think it's time they make it a regular season thing because if it was about postseason success (winning in playoffs) Lamar would'nt have 1 MVP.

It literally already is a regular season only award. It’s voted on before the playoffs even start.

But yeah, "Let's have Tee run an out to the corner of the endzone was unique.
I think we've seen that play 100s of times.

Zac's biggest weakness is situational playcalling, WTS playing for field goals has cost us or almost cost us how many games this year?

But only playoff players win MVPs is my point, so it's literally a make the playoffs award.

I want to give it to Tee so bad. He had a hell of a game.
But Burrow took the team on his back and won the game for them. He has been the true MVP all season while taking incredible abuse doing it.
He has my heart and my vote.
