Josh Malone could be the Bengals’ breakout star at wide receiver in 2018

Seven seconds remain in the first half.

Quarterback Jeff Driskel leads a patchwork configuration of players a masterful 65 yards to the Colts’ 20-yard line. After Driskel lobbed the football beyond the reach of Levonte “Kermit” Whitfield’s reach, targeting the back right pylon, he brought his offense back to the line of scrimmage. Tra Carson flanked Driskel’s right. On the left stood Josh Malone, with Devonte Boyd on his inside shoulder.

Within three seconds of securing the snap, Driskel targeted the back left pylon. Despite playing deep, the Colts secondary allowed Malone to slip by, using both hands to grasp the football and lower his right foot just inside the white chalk.
