The 2021 Cincinnati Bengals have been chock-full of surprises this year. Watching them play football is akin to taking a big handful of Jelly Belly’s and shoving the wad of candies into one’s mouth.
There have been the awesome moments of Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase regaining their 2019 LSU form (“tutti fruity” or “watermelon”), but there are also cringe-worthy plays from those two, the offensive line, as well as untimely defensive collapses (“buttered popcorn” and “coffee”). If that metaphor on those treats doesn’t strike you, then Forrest Gump’s take on See’s Candies’ specialty might ring a bit more true.
