Tyler Boyd enjoying his fast start with the Bengals
The emergence of Boyd has helped the Bengals enter Week 3 with a 2-0 record. Coming into the season, Tyler Boyd was largely an afterthought. A.J. Green gets all of the attention when it comes to the Bengals passing game, and rightfully so. That was on full display Thursday when Green burned the Ravens three times for touchdowns in the first half. But when the clock hit zero, it was Tyler Boyd who led the team in catches (6), yards (91) and tied Green for the team lead in targets (9). Boyd also caught a key touchdown in the second quarter to put the Bengals up 28-7, as Cincinnati needed...

6 winners and 2 losers in Bengals’ high-scoring victory over Baltimore
A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd continue their dominance over the Ravens defense. In less than five days, the Bengals notched two wins and finished the game with the same score. Last Sunday, it was a second-half surge from the offense that elevated the Bengals over the Colts 34-23. Tonight, it was an offensive explosion in the first half and a couple of clutch defensive plays that allow the Bengals to hold onto their lead. And once again, we saw a final score of 34-23. But no matter the method, the outcome is the same. And that means the Bengals are 2-0 to start the season. So which players...

Bengals leap out in front, keep Ravens from coming back in 34-23 win on Thursday Night Football
A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, and Andy Dalton picked the Ravens’ defense apart in the first half, while rookie pass rusher Sam Hubbard put the pressure on Joe Flacco and the Baltimore offense. The Baltimore Ravens, still bitter about getting knocked out of the playoffs by last minute heroics last December, visited Paul Brown Stadium in search of revenge on Thursday Night Football. Fresh off of a thumping of the Bills, the Ravens looked to do the same to the Bengals. They didn’t. The Ravens kept it interesting, but the Bengals kept Baltimore at arm’s length to win the game 34-23. That...

Bengals vs Ravens: Odds, expert picks, analysis, predictions for NFL Week 2
The Bengals seem to be playing the role of underdogs in their home opener. The Bengals and Ravens both won their games in Week 1 in very different ways. Baltimore waltzed to a 47-3 victory over Buffalo. Meanwhile, Cincinnati clawed their way back from down 23-10 against Indianapolis for a 34-23 win. First place in the AFC North (for now) is on the line when these two teams meet tonight. It should be a heated battle as the Ravens haven’t forgiven the Bengals for ending their 2017 season with a Tyler Boyd touchdown catch from Andy Dalton. Now, these teams are battling it out in primetime,...

Ravens at Bengals: The best player matchups to watch
Can Tyler Boyd replicate his magic against a formidable opponent in the Baltimore secondary? With an 11-point victory over the Indianapolis Colts, the Bengals avoided the ever dangerous 0-1 start. In the past 11 NFL seasons, approximately 90 percent of teams who started 0-2 failed to make the playoffs, and the Bengals chances of making the playoffs at 1-0 are more than twice as large as the Colts now at 0-1. A 2-0 start in no way guarantees the Bengals for a playoff berth, but it becomes statistically likely that those teams end up playing in January. That’s the goal for both the...

This is great news for Tate and Bengals fans. Bengals seventh round draft pick Auden Tate, a rookie wide receiver, has made the 53-man roster in Cincinnati.

Green, Tyler Boyd, John Ross, Josh Malone and Cody Core at the wide receiver position. Core might not be sticking around for long though as he’s injured and could be a candidate for IR with the designation to return. Tate spent three years at Florida State University,...

Don’t look past Tyler Boyd in Year 3
Many have been critical of the 2016 2nd round pick, but Boyd has the skillset to be a big part of this offense moving forward The Bengals knew they needed a wide receiver in the 2016 NFL Draft. But with Corey Coleman, Josh Doctson, and William Fuller flying off the board right in front of them, they elected to take the best available player in William Jackson and wait on wide receiver until Round 2. That is where they drafted Tyler Boyd. The third rounder has taken his fair share of criticism, as he has not been able to step up to the plate and make people forget about the players they...
