Personal confession: I’m a Cincinnati Bengals fan; embarrassingly a huge one. Please forgive me for it; I was born one.But even my Cincinnati ties aren’t enough to stop me from applauding what former UK wide receiver Steve Johnson did to my Bengals on Sunday.In a wacky, almost surreal 49-31 come-from-behind Buffalo Bills win, Johnson caught eight passes for 137 yards and three touchdowns. The Bills trailed 28-7 at one point before Johnson torched the Cincinnati secondary.Johnson’s 11-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter put Buffalo ahead 35-31. From there, Buffalo never looked back.Johnson leads the Bills with 52 catches for 728 yards and nine touchdowns. If it weren’t for Buffalo’s struggles, you’d be hearing a lot more about Johnson.
