Wide receiver Tyler Boyd‘s controversial fumble in the waning minutes of the Bengals’ 24-16 loss to Pittsburgh spoiled what was a great homecoming for the Clairton, Pennsylvania native.
The Bengals’ loss to the Steelers was a damper due to the heavy precipitation in Pittsburgh all afternoon. The way it ended was a damper because rookie receiver Tyler Boyd’s controversial fumble ruined his return to Pennsylvania.
Heinz Field, where Boyd spent the last three years setting school records in receptions (254) and receiving yards (3,361) for the University of Pittsburgh, was the setting for an unfortunate end to an impressive homecoming for the 22 year old.
