Jessie Bates running down Huntley instead of letting him walk into the end zone probably saved the game for Cincy because it set up Hubbard's fumble return.

 

You gotta love the way Jessie Bates works it the entire game! And does his job quietly.

I am with you guys on the defensive celebrations.  I have resorted to yelling at the TV when it happens.  

I know I am an old man too but these kids today...  Reminds me of a couple of years ago I was in a gym locker room and these two studs in their mid 20's were talking about these kids today, lol.

I always yell at my TV, glad to hear I am not alone. “Just go do your jobs!” I just don’t like  the way it looks!

My family looks at me like I am being unreasonable. But hey, I’m not here for Fantasy Football nor do I like to watch showboating. It’s not a stage, it’s a football field.

If you were at the game and on your phone Sunday night you were part of history 
Per Cincinnati Bengals

Wi-Fi data consumption at Paycor Stadium reached new heights during Sunday’s playoff game as fans connected to the state-of-the art network in record numbers. The Wi-Fi network processed data at a higher rate than the Super Bowl as traffic soared to 22.3Gbps. The previous high for an NFL game was 20.7Gbps recorded at Super Bowl LVI.

The Bengals, with the support of Hamilton County, partnered with altafiber and its IT Services subsidiary, CBTS, to engineer and build a new fiber-enabled Wi-Fi network at the start of the 2022 season. The new design called for more than 1,600 Access Points, including 1,100 deployed in the stadium seating bowl.

“Paycor Stadium delivers a world-class Wi-Fi network that fans are using to the fullest extent,” said Elizabeth Blackburn, Bengals Director of Strategy and Engagement. “Sunday’s record numbers and the growth we’ve seen all season emphasize the Bengals’ commitment to ensure everyone in the stadium has access to high-quality, fast and reliable internet using the latest Wi-Fi technology.”

“The incredible metrics from Sunday’s game demonstrate the powerful technology behind Paycor Stadium’s Wi-Fi network,” said Leigh Fox, President and CEO of altafiber. “The Bengals not only have the most passionate fan base in the NFL, they now have the most connected fan base as well.” 

Christi Cornette, Chief Culture Officer of altafiber, said the company expects many more record-breaking days at Paycor Stadium.

“altafiber is proud of our partnership with the Cincinnati Bengals, and we are pleased to help the organization deliver an incredible gameday experience,” Cornette said. “We look forward to serving the team and its fans well into the future.

And to think just a few years ago there was chatter that the Bengals may leave Cincinnati. That feels like a lifetime ago now.

Yeah, if this was a relationship it would be like, "I don't care if you do go to the Super Bowl twice, a few years ago you were ready to leave me. ?
