- Trevor Lawrence: 25/30 235 yds 2 TDs and 0 INTs. Played an excellent game with HIGH EFFICIENCY taking what the defense was giving him. Made no mistakes and LED this team on offense.
- Running game: 37 rushes for 96 yds and 1 TD collectively as a team today. Great to see JRob playing the way he is after his injury and his run for the TD was beautful. ETN is a perfect complement for our duo.
- Pass protection: After last weeks debacle, the O-line really seemed to have come around a bit but I imagine that's also due to the quick-passing nature our coaches have adjusted to rightfully so.
- Receivers: C.Kirk and co finally bringing what we've been missing on our team in a long time. Players who can get open and catch the damn ball. 2 TDs for Kirk and he's absolutely worth the contract he was given. Zay, Marvin and Engram were crucial out there too.
- Defense: As a whole, our defense played LIGHTS out in all 3 levels. Forcing pressures, sacks and turnovers - and like some others have mentioned, this game was reminiscent of the 2017 season. 3 INTs, 5 sacks and 11 PDs.
- Josh Allen: I have to put the spotlight on him specifically because he's been causing HAVOC with his pressures, sacks and forced fumbles. Had 2 sacks today. PAY THE MAN. Amazing how things open up with another playmaker like Walker on the other side.
- Rayshawn Jenkins: Despite all of us knowing he was probably a weak point in our pass defense, he played a tremendous game recording 1 INT, 4 passes defensed and a bevy of hard hitting tackles.
- Riley Patterson: Made a 52 yard kick for us and looked solid through and through. Let's hope he can be our guy at that position so we no longer hold our breath when a kicker is called upon.

And most importantly,

- Doug Pederson and the coaching staff: This win was the product of a superbowl level coach understanding the talent he has in his team and playing to their strengths. The gameplan and play-calling today was SUPERB all day, especially that 4th down call with the QB rollout with the option to run/pass that ended up as a pass TD to C.Kirk. Pederson and his play designs are truly refreshing to see unlike the previous disgraced HC we had on this team. Still can't believe JRob was shelved last year by that idiot.

This was a great win overall and the shutout against a divisional foe makes it that much sweeter. We should have beat the commies last week to be 2-0 but it didn't happen, so on to the next one over in the west coast against the Chargers.

DUUUUUVAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! LETS GO!
