I did watch the game and re-watched different plays.
But I am on the road right now I can only tell you a few things:
1. The Bengals are really hurting on the Interior with a guy opting out the year and two or three more (since the beginning of TC) on the shelves.
2. So much so that Reader had to play
56 out of 58 defensive snaps (unheard of to me these days); I'm sure neither him or the coaches wanted him to go all out all the time.
There seems to be a change of guard at wide receiver.

3. That article also mentions that Geno was also out. The interior line is simply a weakness on that D right now.
4. I gave you the highligts for Mayfield and Chubb. You can also watch the overall highlights. And I'm saying that you won't find him as a weakness.
5. As to comments like seeing him on the grass, I'd simply respond with "if your uniform isn't dirty", you're not playing hard enough.
6. I can remember right off the bat two plays he was instrumental or a big key in stopping on the goal line, forcing a turnover on down.
You need guys like that. There are not too many drives per game, if each guy can help force a turnover like that, the D would have hold the opponent to zero point.
