The Cincinnati Bengals entered their AFC Wild Card game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday having gone 31 years without a playoff win, the longest active streak of any NFL franchise. Their fans celebrated a 26-19 victory thanks in large part to quarterback Joe Burrow, who looked cool, calm and collected in his first postseason appearance.
After the game, head coach Zac Taylor went to the podium and essentially let out an exhale for those who supported the team through its disappointing seasons and playoff failures.
"I'm just really, really happy for the city of Cincinnati—that they get a chance to enjoy this," Taylor said.
