On Saturday, we all needed to stop, take a moment, and celebrate being in the race. Their last playoff win happened was I was 5. No, it's not the Super Bowl, but one step at a time, and with an absence of playoff wins that many years in a row, it's most certainly something to celebrate. The Bengals have also really stepped up as an organization in creating better fan engagement. This is another piece to that puzzle and goes a long way to show the org cares about the people of the city. I love the move.
I want the team focused on the next game, and I have zero doubt they have been since Sunday. But if people wanted to celebrate a milestone on Saturday, let 'em. Unless they come out flat this weekend from carrying the party into the week (doesn't seem the players or staff will, because they don't have the same stock in that win that the city had), I'm not sure I understand the worry.
