Cincinnati Bengals fans haven’t really had a ton to root for over the past few decades, and the team’s supporters headed into its most recent campaign hoping Joe Burrow could be the savior that could help the team win its first playoff game since 1991.

Thankfully, that impressive drought finally came to an end after 31 years when the Bengals topped the Raiders in their wild card showdown earlier this month. Following the victory, head coach Zac Taylor pulled an awesome move by heading to a bar in Cincinnati to hand out a game ball and celebrate with fans who’d gathered to commemorate the occasion with some well-earned drinks.

During the visit, Taylor made a fairly bold proclamation when he said the impromptu ceremony would be “the first of many.” Thankfully, the team was able to continue its playoff run after defeating the Titans on Saturday to earn a spot in the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 1989.

The Bengals had plenty of supporters in the stands in Nashville to watch them defeat Tennessee, and after returning from the trip, a few players decided to continue the tradition Taylor sparked by heading to Holy Grail Tavern & Grille in downtown Cincy after arriving back home.

On Sunday morning, the watering hole posted a video of punter Kevin Huber standing on top of the bar and presenting the game ball while C. J. Uzomah looked on (according to Local12, Joe Mixon was also in attendance).

You love to see it.
