Tyler Boyd matches career touchdown total

Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd was in the midst of the most productive season of his career before Burrow got hurt last week, but could have the opportunity to have a breakout performance against the Giants’ secondary.

The Giants are one of nine teams that have allowed more passing yards than the Bengals this season, and while they have improved overall in recent weeks, Patrick Graham’s group faces a stiff test against Cincinnati’s speedy receiving corps.

Presuming that James Bradberry, the Giants’ most gifted cornerback and arguably the most talented player on the roster, travels with Tee Higgins, there’s a chance that Tyler Boyd could have a career-afternoon.

Boyd enters Sunday with three touchdowns this season, but if he draws a matchup against the likes of Isaac Yiadom, Darnay Holmes, or Brandon Williams, he could match that total in this game.
