Cincinnati Bengals players and fans have found plenty of outside things to focus on for extra motivation as they make another deep playoff run.
Former NFL pro Eric Weddle is one of those.
Weddle appeared on a show during the week before the divisional round of the playoffs and said the Bengals had no chance at beating the Buffalo Bills.
They did have a chance, of course, and actually went on the road in the snow and dominated all four quarters in a 27-10 triumph to advance to their second straight AFC title game.
Understandably, Weddle was a topic of conversation after the game, with DJ Reader, Andrew Whitworth and others letting him know about the big whiff on the prediction.
Motivation is free but we always appreciate a little extra. #WhoDey https://t.co/BCdGMoI32H
