The Cincinnati Bengals are preparing to go against a familiar face when they take the field for Super Bowl 56 next Sunday.
Los Angeles Rams All-Pro tackle Andrew Whitworth was a Bengal from 2006-16 and holds a special place in the hearts of Bengals’ fans.
In an interview with ESPN’s Brady Henderson, Whitworth said he couldn’t keep his eyes off the video board leading up to the Rams’ NFC Title game as the Bengals were closing in on an AFC Championship and Super Bowl berth.
“I was so amped for the [NFC Championship] game [Sunday] but then also at the same time I hardly couldn’t stop looking at the screen because I knew how close they were to pulling it off.
