I have been a bengal fan since 1973 and that play hurt me as much as any single play in the history of the team.  But we probably would not even have been in that playoff game without Pac.  He played like an All Pro that year.  He finished second only to Patrick Peterson in FootballOutsiders' "Yards per Target", and was 5th in "Success Rate".  The Bengals were the only team in the league to contain Antonio Brown that year, and that was mainly due to Pac.

So, yeah, he is responsible for a historic blunder, but it was just one blunder from a great player.  We couldn't cut every player who has messed up and caused us to lose a playoff game.

Yards per target is a really dumb stat. Haven't we gone over this before? 

Who has the better game? A guy that gives up 1 catch for 40 yards with a yards per target of 40 yards or a guy that gives up 15 catches for 150 yards and a yards per target of 10? That stat is just so stupid.
