A quarterback's job is to throw the ball and a wide receiver's job is to catch the ball. That's not how things went for the Cincinnati Bengals during their Monday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tyler Boyd threw a laughably bad pass right into the waiting arms of Josh Allen.
Social media made sure that Boyd knew how bad his pass was and how stupid the decision was to have Boyd throw the pass in the first place.

Here's just a simple replay of Boyd's throw, which is torture enough.
The Jets are frantically trying to trade for Tyler Boyd and make him their QB.

A lot of Bengals fans (and football fans) were also simply just thinking question marks when this play took place.

Sorry for the language here but the tweet was too good not to include. This was the most puzzling part of all of this. Jake Browning was playing well and the Bengals offense got cute. Why?
….did Tyler Boyd watching Browning layer the ball over the LB in the red zone and think “yeah I could do that”

Maybe Mina Kimes is onto something here. Did Boyd think he could play quarterback? Not so easy is it?

Pretty much.
That's one of the worst plays I've ever seen a professional team make.

Hard to argue with Joe Danneman here. That was a laughably bad play called in the worst possible time.
Oh no.

Might be time to throw the trick play chapter of the playbook in the trash.
Yeah, safe to say we don't need to see that play ever again.
