Bengals’ Tyler Boyd says Cincinnati would have beaten Chiefs in AFC championship game if he was healthy

The Cincinnati Bengals were a few plays away from going to back-to-back Super Bowls, and wide receiver Tyler Boyd thinks his injury in the AFC championship game played a major role in the Bengals' failure to reach the Super Bowl. 

The Bengals lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 23-20 on a game-winning field goal by Harrison Butker at the end of the fourth quarter.

Boyd, who was third on the team in receiving yards and touchdowns during the 2022 season, suffered a deep thigh bruise in the second quarter and was unable to play in the second half.

The veteran wide receiver said Tuesday his presence would have pushed the Bengals over the top.

"Still to this day, I feel like if I would have played the whole game, I was the key factor," Boyd said, according to ESPN. "We would've won the game."

Boyd had two catches for 40 yards at the time of his injury and said he tried numbing cream and ibuprofen to get back on the field. 

"I just felt like we had enough depth for guys like (Trenton Irwin) and other guys to come in and play at a faster pace than what I felt like I could do," Boyd said. "I wish I was able to do it, but things happen."

Boyd, the longest-tenured member of the Bengals, arrived at Cincinnati’s voluntary workouts Tuesday. 

"I wanted to come around and bring camaraderie," Boyd said, per the Bengals website. "I missed the guys. Even though I was away spending time with my family, quality time with my daughter, I just felt empty not being around my guys and being there for them."

Cincinnati will travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs in Week 17 during the 2023 regular season.

The Bengals signed former Chiefs offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. to a four-year contract in the offseason, a move Boyd says only adds to the rivalry between the two teams. 

"We have a nice little rivalry with the Chiefs and to see him come over, you know, it's like, yeah, ‘We one-upped y'all,’" Boyd told reporters.

"But at the end of the day, he’s a great player no matter where he would have went. He’s probably one of the best at his position. Just adding him to what we got already, to allow Joe [Burrow] to have more time. It’s going to give us the will to put up those points. So, I’m just happy to have him."

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes. During 2016 and 2017, the audience would kind of look at the ceiling. The jokes...

Prosecutors present final witness tying Ryan Routh to Trump's golf club and gun purchase

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kimberly McGreevy testified about financial records, phone data, license plate readers and surveillance evidence that traced Routh’s movements from Hawaii to Florida ahead of the assassination attempt. McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward. McGreevy testified that bank transfers showed Routh had the money to pay that sum.
