In the Bengals’ 31-21 loss to the Panthers, second-year wide receiver John Ross was targeted seven times and hauled in three receptions for 16 yards. Every time Ross gets the ball in his hands, he commands attention. But on Sunday, he turned more heads when he didn’t catch the ball.
Two plays specifically stood out for Ross. The first one was a deep pass in the first quarter that went over Ross’ head. Even though the ball was overthrown, Ross looked like he still could have made a play on the ball, or maybe tried harder.
