2. Myles can’t be kept quiet

Myles Garrett might’ve well as been a ghost in Week 1, save for falling on a fumble forced by Larry Ogunjobi in the first quarter of that debacle against the Ravens.

Armed with a new $100 million extension, Garrett can’t be taken out of the game again, and he shouldn’t disappear in this one.

Burrow was sacked three times and hit six against the Chargers. Joey Bosa recorded  one of those takedowns, while adding three QB hits. At the very least, Garrett has ate replicate Bosa’s production–and he should be able to get it done.

At left tackle, the Bengals field Jonah Williams. The Alabama product was the team’s No. 1 pick in 2019, but missed the entire campaign due to injury. On the right side, Cincy suits up Bobby Hart. Neither should be a challenge, for Garrett, who was lining up across form Baltimore’ s right tackle in Week 1.

Garrett’s an impact player and he’s being paid like one now. It’s time for him to start making good on that label on Thursday.

If he can’t do that against Cincinnati, he’ll be open to major criticism, and considering his new contract, it’ll come.
