I do have to tip my hat to Snoop Huntley, though. That dude, and JK Dobbins (who can thank Goodell for allowing them to be rested) played really damn well.
Der weinerlicher wichser which in proper spelling is John Harbaugh.

Fumble in the jungle, for all its poetry, would be how the Ravens describe it, as something negative. Bengals need to come up with something positive. Rumble in the jungle has the same poetry, but sounds like an event, like a boxing match, more than a specific play. What about The Stop and Go?

?? Only to you it sounds negative. The ravens fumbled it. It's a fumble
a fumble that benefitted cincy. It's not negative

I think my personal favorite is Rumble on the River. Credit to Ben Baby.
It's less on-the-nose than the literalism of "Fumble in the Jungle", and more alliterative than "Rumble in the Jungle". It captures a moment and a place with the proper artistry.

Not thrilled with "thicc six" or variations on that since it is so general. That's applicable to any big man scoring a TD. I think it needs to be contextualized.
Clearly this is important to me.

Im not one to try and force nicknames on players or plays. I think nicknames should happen organically rather than being proactively brainstormed

Only to me does "fumble" sound negative? Huh? The very definition of fumble in a dictionary has negative connotations. ("using the hands clumsily.")
And this was not exactly "Tony Romo's botched snap" or the "butt fumble" or the "Miracle at the Meadowlands" (botched handoff, presented in a positive way by Giants fans). It was an aggressive play by the Bengals defense.
To define the play as "fumble" is what the Ravens would do. If you want to memorialize the play from the Bengals perspective, you have to put a positive spin on both the dislodging of the ball and the 98-yard runback.

Agreed. Knew that whole 'name the kicker" stuff was going to backfire.

I still call him Legs Benedict, and I don't care who knows!

Despite the connotations I like the Immaculate Rejection and Hubbard Yard Dash rolls off the tongue.

IF WE WIN THE SUPER BOWL, this play will become the "Immaculate Reception" of Bengal folklore.
I hereby name it the FUMBLE RUMBLE.
Now let's hope we win the Super Bowl! This awesome Bengal play in many ways was the best defensive play ever for our team!

I am Sam, ....Sam-I-Am
Yet the Ravens do not like Sam-I-Am, or green eggs and ham.
Like these 3
Rumble in the Jungle
River Run
The Hubbard Yd Dash........probably my fav
If Wilson had just tipped it to himself it could have easily been named after the old movie....Logan's Run.
