If you’re a Cincinnati Bengals fan, blame Jeremy Hill for this loss. Because desecrating a Terrible Towel is like the monkey’s paw. It might sound good in the moment but always ends in disaster.
After Hill’s antics, the Bengals would only score one more field goal the rest of the game and blow a 20-6 lead, falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-20. In the loss, they were eliminated from the playoffs, not that they had much hope to begin with, while the Steelers are in control of the AFC North.
Ike Taylor, a longtime member of the Steelers-Bengals rivalry, took to Twitter to speak the truth.
