Bengals Victory Overshadowed By Burton's Benching
The Cincinnati Bengals secured a thrilling victory over the Baltimore Ravens, but the triumph was dampened by the benching of tight end C.J. Uzomah. Uzomah, who has been a key contributor to the Bengals' offense, was surprisingly benched in favor of Drew Sample.
Williams' Perspective
Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd expressed his support for Uzomah, stating that he was "pissed off" about the benching decision. Boyd believes that Uzomah deserves to be on the field, as he is a valuable asset to the team.
"I think C.J. is one of the best tight ends in the league," Boyd said. "He's a great blocker, he's a great receiver, and he's a great teammate. I don't understand why he wasn't out there."
Boyd's comments reflect the sentiments of many Bengals fans, who were disappointed by Uzomah's benching. They believe that he is a key part of the offense and should be getting more playing time.
The Bengals coaching staff has not publicly explained their decision to bench Uzomah. However, it is possible that they were trying to give Sample more playing time in order to evaluate him as a potential long-term replacement for Uzomah.
Regardless of the reason, the benching of Uzomah has created some controversy within the Bengals' organization. It remains to be seen whether Uzomah will regain his starting role in the future.
