Around 4:30 on Sunday afternoon, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was standing in the middle of the Bengals locker room, carrying a cardboard box full of Leather Rose cigars.
The Bengals just beat the Baltimore Ravens, 27-16, at Paycor Stadium to clinch a first-round home playoff game and put a stamp on their AFC North championship season. In the postgame locker room, Burrow, who later said the Bengals would be in their championship window as long as he’s their quarterback, led the way like he always does.
Burrow picked up the box and went from person-to-person delivering cigars for everyone.
