27–33

Four lost fumbles buried the opener. Mayfield was 23-of-28 for 216 with a rush TD, Irving added a score, and Trotter returned an interception for a touchdown — still not enough after Cincinnati turned takeaways into points.

AJ. TrotterLBPick-six, sack, team-high tackles. The tape opener.
AB. IrvingRB93 yards from scrimmage + rush TD. Bright spot in a messy opener.
BE. EgbukaWRTeam-high 63 yards. Involved early and often.
BG. BartonCDrew the best DT and won plenty of reps — lost a few too.
DB. MayfieldQBEfficient line, lethal ball security — three lost fumbles.
FA. AnzaloneLB100% of snaps, none of the polish. Trotter should own the room.
DEDGE roomEDGEBain/Diaby quiet. Pressure came late and thin.

Draft desk

2027 board · 0–1 · Tankathon #1 after Week 1 (SOS)

Current pick

Top need

True WR1. Godwin’s in a late-career window, Evans is gone, Egbuka looks like a great #2 — unless Hurst pops, elite receiver is the board.

Desk at 1

Jeremiah Smith· WR, Ohio State

Desk WR1 at 1. Alpha outside presence the room is missing with Evans gone — Godwin’s window is late-career, Egbuka looks like a great #2 unless Hurst forces a rethink.
