Some notable mentions.
Griff Whalen, Trent Taylor and Justin Watson all had touchdown catches in their respected games.
James Cowser had an into.
Vigil and Hubbard both had sacks for Cincinnati.
Some random thought on week 2 with 2 to go.
Nice play by Watson and below is his TD. Uncertain if he makes the Bucs but when I looked at their depth chart they only listed 5 WRs. Come on get a clue. Add Watson to go along with Humphries. Below is his nifty TD pass.

Two developing stories. Running QBs Taysom Hill, mentioned above, along with speedster Jeff Driskel of the Bengals, more on them in a moment, are gaining momentum as back up QBs. The dumb ass Saints better stop playing Hill on special teams for crying out loud.
As noted above nice speed by CM. He had a terrific rookie season and expect an even better second season from him where I think the new offensive coach will use a little more imagination when it comes to getting CM out in the open field. Not everyone here roots for his team the Panthers but with Kuechly on D and CM believe you me I root for this team.
Gentry is a solid WR prospect for the Bears. Three targets three catches. We can only hope he makes the 53 roster.
Due to an unfortunate injury the
Josh Allen era in Buffalo could be starting sooner than expected. I like everything about Allen. His easy going low key personality and his astounding talent which was he displayed on the nifty QB pass two nights ago. The media has a tendency to overemphasize his so called weaknesses but even they had to admit his TD pass was something special.
The Bengals like the Redskins have some neat stories going on. I already mentioned Driskel, a fast QB who is making strides. Always liked him in college ( he played for two schools including Florida).
The underrated S Fejedelem is still there as is WR Alex Erickson a player who
deserves more time on the field. And even Bohringer made a catch last night.
The break out star for them so far is hometown hero DE Sam Hubbard. Dismissed as a stiff by some draft gurus, Hubbard has applied consistent pressure on the QBs this preseason and the coaching staff is very high on him. He is a football player plain and simple. He should have been a high first round draft pick.
If things break right, a big if, the Bengals could be a team to really get behind.
