The Cincinnati Bengals' tradition of handing out game balls to Cincy fans at bars continued on Sunday night after the franchise's 27-10 playoff win against the Buffalo Bills.
One of the game balls was handed out at Gypsy's in Covington — just across the river from Paycor Stadium.
The ball, which was delivered by Germaine Pratt and Jessie Bates, had a terrific message transcribed on it.
"They gotta play us…in the snow!"
Cincinnati's mantra over the last few weeks has been "they gotta play us". It's a reference to the fact that the Bengals are still the defending AFC champions.
That of course wasn't the only game ball handed out on Sunday night. Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor made his way to rhinehaus after returning from Buffalo to also hand out a game ball.
This is easily one of the coolest new traditions in professional sports. It's incredible to see the way that Taylor has completely embraced the city of Cincinnati.
Bengals fans are hoping for two more weeks of game balls as it would mean the Lombardi Trophy has made its way to Ohio.
