Caught up in the hype of John Ross‘ debut and the total disgust of how the Bengals played against Houston, I forgot that Tyler Boyd did not play. Once I sat back, got some food and started watching some Marvel movies, it dawned on me.
Why was Boyd benched? A healthy scratch? In all of my time as a Bengals fan, I can’t really remember when such a young player was benched and there was no reasoning why. It struck me as very odd why Marvin Lewis simply stated he was not benched for health reasons as previously reported.
