Barrett Carter gets absolutely roasted by Bengals fans and if only this was avoidable

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Barrett Carter faced intense criticism from supporters following the team's 30-27 road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 27, 2026. Fans took to social media to voice frustration over Carter's performance, specifically citing multiple missed tackles during the Week 3 divisional matchup.

The Bengals entered the 2026 season relying on second-year starters Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. at linebacker rather than acquiring veteran upgrades in free agency. Carter, a former fourth-round draft pick out of Clemson, struggled significantly throughout the contest as Cincinnati fell short at Acrisure Stadium.
