The Bengals are now 0-11 for the first time in franchise history. One of the biggest plays that set that into motion was Tyler Boyd’s fumble in fourth quarter inside the Steelers’ 10 yard line.
There is no doubt that play changed everything. The Bengals were down by three with roughly nine minutes left, and had Boyd been tackled without fumbling, he would have probably ended up on Pittsburgh’s five-yard line. It is hard to say whether the Bengals’ would’ve been able to score a touchdown, but had they even just tied the game with a field goal, it could’ve changed the entire outlook of the game.
