The Cincinnati Bengals don’t have many positives to take out of Sunday’s 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A new era has gone up in flames as Sunday’s loss cements the worst start in franchise history. Of the many problems displayed in the latest loss, there were a few bright spots. Let’s highlight those and the biggest negatives.

 

Winner: Tyler Boyd

Boyd had some complaints last week after his one-catch performance and they were certainly understandable — there’s no excuse to not spam him with targets. Ryan Finley seemed to learn this, as Sunday Boyd saw nine targets, which he turned into five catches for 101 yards and a score. He had a fumble in the fourth quarter, but this is what happens when stars on bad teams try to do too much.
