Bengals Next Playoff Game

Taylor handed out the first game ball to Mike and Nancy Brown, the current owners of the Bengals franchise. Mike and Nancy are known for their level of dedication to the franchise and their intimate style of ownership.

Coach Taylor then moves onto deliver the next game ball to the entire city of Cincinnati, who has been right there waiting for three decades to see another Bengals playoff win.

It's a special moment for the city of Cincinnati and one that should be celebrated. But, this convincing 26-19 Wild Card victory over the Las Vegas Raiders and a 244-yard, two-touchdown performance from Joe Burrow also has the Bengals looking ahead.

Cincinnati will await the results of the Steelers vs Chiefs Wild Card matchup to decide their next opponent in the Divisional Round. The Bengals will either play the No. 1 seed Tennessee Titans or the No. 3 Buffalo Bills.
