Very mixed bag. He's been targeted a lot, and he has given up yards. But he is really bringing guys down the instant he touches them.

Wonder if he'll end-up at SS, if he doesn't work out for some reason at CB.   Assume he's going to take a  while to develop in coverage.

Yes. Stat sheet will tell lies. This was a GREAT game by Joe Burrow. The batted balls are infuriating, but also I think attributable to defensive game planning. Zac and Brian need to figure that out.

Also I thought it was overall a very good night for Zac the play caller.

Such a great win.  The score was closer than the game.  Our first drive suffered from an uncalled PI on Minkah, then one of their drives were helped by a couple iffy holding/pi calls.  
 

3 out of the last 4 from our hated rivals.  But for aged LS injury, we win all 4.  Ravens looking less right now.  
 

Tough road ahead but at least we’re on the road.

O-line gave up some plays but an overall good game against that front.    Need to bring it back for Titans. 

Rolling up 400+ and 37 point on the road.  Great offensive performance.

The Bengals need to bury their "Pickens" into a decade of losing so he'll become a lockeroom nightmare.

Has anyone heard anything about our kickoff game?

With our analytics addicted coach, is it possible that our short kickoffs were intentional?  Could stats show returned kicks lead to worse outcomes for returning team than touchbacks or fair catches?  Difficult to believe our kicker had that many complete misses on kickoffs.

Don't know.    Maybe it was the direction?   I thought kick offs improved going the opposite direction.     There has always been one end of that stadium that is a beast to kick into.   They closed off one end of that stadium a few years back but it has been a bear kicking into.

sounds like issue was, in large part, wind. Both teams kicks were well short of goal line all game.
