CINCINNATI (AP) -Chad Ochocinco is tired of being a sidekick.
When the Cincinnati Bengals signed Terrell Owens at the start of training camp, Ochocinco was content playing “Robin” to T.O’s “Batman,” saying he was glad to stay in the background to help the team.
Not any longer.
Ochocinco went out of his way to call attention to himself during a 27-21 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday night, wearing bright gold cleats that caught everyone’s eye. He also vented his frustration as the game went along, exchanging words with quarterback Carson Palmer and coach Marvin Lewis.
Lewis yanked him from the game briefly to help him cool down. Ochocinco finished with only one catch, while Owens had 10 catches and two more touchdowns. The defending AFC North champs fell to 2-6, scuttling their season.
