Super Bowl 56 is expected to have a back-and-forth chess duel between Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan and Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
While the Bengals wide receiver corps features multiple speedy, game-changing talents, they are set to meet a Rams secondary led by Jalen Ramsey that finished regular season play with a fifth-best 83.8 passer rating allowed.
For Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd, he could end up being tasked for multiple slot matchups with Ramsey or possible coverage duels out wide against cornerback Darious Williams.
When asked during a press conference on Friday on whether the possibility of facing off against Ramsey will provide him with more fuel in Super Bowl 56, Boyd kept it simple with his take on this matter.
“Nah,” Boyd said.
As Boyd has not faced off against opposing teams' top cornerback options throughout the playoffs so far this season, he has made the most out of his targets. He has formed keen chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow as of late, which includes a 71.4 percent catch percentage in the ongoing playoffs.
Ramsey has essentially done it all for the Rams in the playoffs, from taking on slot matchups to covering the likes of A.J. Green and Mike Evans for the vast majority of games. Whether it will be against Boyd or another wideout option on the Bengals roster, he sure will have a hefty task ahead to help the Rams secondary contain Cincinnati's versatile wide receiver unit.
