The Cincinnati Bengals recently won the AFC North Division after an impressive win against the Kansas City Chiefs, 34-31 in week 17.
According to The Athletic, Joe Mixon and Tyler Boyd were the two most excited players in the locker room because they have been with the Bengals for so long and have not been able to find success,
“Me and Mixon were the last two to leave. We’re among the players that have been here the longest and we felt it.”
This is a great thing for two guys who really stood the way and grinded it out the way that most professionals should look up to doing. They didn't run from the grind and go join another team just like many other players in the NFL and other professional sports do. They stuck it out with the Bengals and now they are being rewarded for it as the Bengals have arguably the best offense in all of football.
It's going to be interesting to see what the Bengals can do in the playoffs, but they are definitely a team that most teams are not going to want to face. They can put up points at will and whenever a team can score at a high level, you want to avoid them in the playoffs.
The Bengals are a young team so they could potentially struggle in the playoffs. Having guys like Joe Mixon and Tyler Boyd will certainly help because they're going to be able to calm the guys down and help them play to their full potential.
