PITTSBURGH -- Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd didn't step around the obvious after a 27-3 blowout loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.
"We got embarrassed," Boyd said. "Straight like that. It sucks."
What Boyd could tolerate, he said, were close losses like the one-possession defeats in Week 1 and Week 3. But there's too much pride to have performances like the one at Heinz Field, where Pittsburgh scored 27 unanswered points and won the ninth straight game over Cincinnati, its longest winning streak in the series' 100-game history.
