When the Bengals Won the AFC Title, What Was Your Immediate Reaction?

I just yelled, “Bengals win! Who’s next?”

Then, spent emotionally, I just sat back in my chair silently; I can’t lie. I shed some happy tears. A few seconds later my phone started blowing up with texts. BZZ! More tears and smiles. BZZ! BZZ! The texts were from friends, family, and coworkers. Even Cleveland Browns fans I know were happy an Ohio team was in the Super Bowl. BZZ!

This feels even better than 1982 or 1989.

My final thought was concern for Larry Ogunjobi and CJ Uzomah. Those men got the Bengals there.

Then I got online to read reactions from all the talking heads who picked Kansas City. I must confess to great satisfaction watching them choke on their predictions.
