An atrocious Bengals trick play-turned-pick absolutely baffled the ManningCast

An absolutely disastrous trick play for the Cincinnati Bengals turned into a wonderful reaction for the ManningCast.

While Peyton and Eli Manning were talking with NFL media personality Kay Adams during the third quarter of Cincy’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Bengals ran an absolutely baffling trick play where wide receiver Tyler Boyd got the ball and threw it right into the hands of Jaguars outside linebacker Josh Allen.

The play set Jacksonville up in the red zone and sent the Mannings and their guest Adams into absolute shock.

This play was just a nightmare for Cincinnati, and nobody on the ManningCast could believe what they had just watched.

This is the kind of bust of a trick play that gets immediately thrown out of the playbook, even more frustrating for Cincy when you consider how well backup quarterback Jake Browning was playing for the team.

Boyd is supposed to catch the ball, not throw it, and the ManningCast‘s bewildered reaction summed up how we all felt at home.
