Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor took to the local bar on Sunday night as he kept up with his iconic playoff tradition after beating the Baltimore Ravens.
Taylor found himself in the Blind Pig after the Bengals won 24-17 on Sunday night, but not for the well earned beer you may expect. The Bengals coach was delivering a game ball to the lucky bar, something he's done around Cincinnati after winning playoff games since joining the team.
Some bars in Cincinnati are lucky recipients of priceless memorabilia, as the team continues to give back to the city. There's a lot to love about this Bengals side, and Taylor's tradition is only boosting their popularity.
Taylor was seen in the Blind Pig after the Bengals beat the Ravens on Sunday, with the bar being their local as it's right across from their facility and stadium. The coach came ready with a match ball, and even got up on stage to address the overwhelmed customers.
The bar will now have a wonderful piece of NFL memorabilia to display, with fans likely to flock to see their latest addition. The Bengals beat the Ravens for the second week straight but this clash was a lot different to the week 18 matchup.
The divisional rivals met on Wild Card Weekend, and the Bengals were expected to outclass their opponents as they were missing Lamar Jackson. But the game followed the weekend trend, as most games went down to the wire.
The Buffalo Bills were taken all the way by the Miami Dolphins while the Minnesota Vikings were stopped by the New York Giants on their final drive. The only one-sided game came at Levi's Stadium, as the San Francisco 49ers cruised past the Seattle Seahawks.
But the Bengals progress regardless, after Sam Hubbard's late turnover touchdown was enough to beat the Ravens and force a game against the Bills. The winner will face either Kansas City Chiefs of Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship, something the Bengals won last season.
Burrow is hoping to make the Super Bowl once again with his side, but this time go one better after they lost to Los Angeles Rams at the final hurdle. But they must first get past the Bills, with an emotional match expected after their recent clash was cancelled in week 17 after Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest.
