Well color me surprised. Didn't get to see the game, but looks like the run game just dominated. Too bad Arians likes to stop running the ball for 5 plays if Mendenhall doesn't get a 4 yard gain every time he runs. Gave up 100 yards rushing to Jackson, but Jackson is also one of the best, and when you only give up 91 yards passing, that's okay.

Pleased with Charlie's performance too. He should play next week too. Legursky got hurt though, which is a huge problem. Definitely don't want Trai Essex and Chris Kemoeatu to have to play at the same time. Would've liked to have some turnovers, but forcing 7 punts is nice too.

Watching on Red Zone, Batch had 2-3 plays where he looked like Ben running and ducking. It's looking like Brown might be fighting Wallace for the #1 receiver spot.

I expect to see tons of Hines next week, with him only needing 5 catches for 1,000.

Brown shouldn't be. Wallace gets the best corner every week and a lot of time he draws safety help. Now he's dropped some passes, like the touchdown against the Chiefs, but if Brown was getting the attention he was getting it would be a similar situation.
