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?

Like I've said, there's enough to show that ZT could become a good HC. The problem is his insistence on being a playcaller. He clearly is not an effective playcaller and the sooner he realizes that and "fires" himself as OC, the sooner he can try to reach his potential as a HC. It might be too little too late ... if this was any other team but the Bengals.
