If you were like me and was wondering where the Cincinnati Bengals offense got its choreographed dance that it did on Monday night in the eventual win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, here’s the answer.
It was a tribute to the 2022 Memphis Grizzlies, who — with Dillon Brooks at the time — did a dance while entering from the tunnel. A bunch of fans noticed it on X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared some side-by-side shots of the two dances.
I’m truly impressed by just how together the Bengals were with this one that ended with Orlando Brown Jr. shouting an expletive into the camera.
