Per the Athletic article recapping the game:
So you have a guy who, let's be honest, probably chose Cincinnati because he wanted to play against the Steelers, the team that he felt slighted by and, in the game where we beat his former team, our coach sends him out for both the coin toss AND the victory formation kneel downs.
Based on the quotes from Hilton, he seems like he really appreciated the gesture.
Say what you want about ZT, but he knows how to get his players on his side. Honestly, that may be the most dangerous part about him haha. How do you fire a coach that the players all love?
Bengals should take note of Hilton and his feelings toward the Steelers and be aware they are doing the same thing to Jessie Bates. Should have been extended already, and he is playing even better this year so his value just keeps going up.
