By rights the Texans probably should've won 40-14 the way the Bengals were playing.
I get that the Texans are raw and they, while on the rise, still aren't a great team. But sometimes you sit in the chair thinking it's over but Cam T-B and Joey B are like "Hold our beers, boys" and the game begins anew.
I can't fault Boyd too much. Everyone drops passes or throws picks or misses a block. But despite being beat down most of the game, those guys were one fluke dropped TD pass from a win. That's insane and it's ridiculous.
But it's true.
In that same vein, it was also a bad Stroud INT from not even getting the chance. Burrow was pretty damn bad in the 4th quarter and it's silly to try to pin the blame on Boyd for one dropped pass considering Burrow threw two bad picks in the 4th quarter.
It just really tells you the difference in narratives around certain players in the league that Burrow isn't getting roasted for his 4th quarter performance. Whereas you sit here and see Lamar for instance have his performance with one batted INT destroyed against a much better team lol.
