Bengals fans earned a game ball for Cincinnati’s first playoff win in 31 years.
In the postgame press conference, Taylor said that he was going to give out two game balls. One went to Mike Brown, and the other went to the fans that went so long since their last playoff win.
“I’m just really, really happy for the city of Cincinnati,” Taylor said. “They get a chance to enjoy this.”
The fans showed up, breaking Paul Brown Stadium’s record for attendance. The crowd was loud, and forced a few false starts early.
