Elizabeth Blackburn
Cincinnati Bengals need to secure a win in order to secure the top spot in their respective AFC (North) division. However, their challenge is going to be tougher than ever with Kansas City Chiefs awaiting them in Week 13.
Ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, Elizabeth Blackburn had a strong message to Bengals’ fans ahead of Sunday mega bonanza. She jotted some numbers down in the message hyping her team’s impressive on-field action. Suggesting her team’s one of the best on and off field sides, this is what she had to say.
“Our team ranks in the NFL’s top-5 in scoring offense, while our defense surrenders the 5th fewest successful plays in the league, per PFF. We are one of the few teams in the NFL that boasts top units on both sides of the ball…Thanks to our great fans, Paycor Stadium has been energetic, lively, and intimidating to opponents – feeling and sounding like a worthy palace for the reigning AFC Champs. Yet somehow, we have played just half of our regular season home games.”
While the hype has gone beyond the roof, it has also caught NFL Analyst Peter Schrager. With Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow on opposite sides, the star-studded lineup of both these sides can cause major drama.
Peter Schrager said on the latest episode of Good Morning Football, “Elizabeth Blackburn, the Director of Strategy & Engagement for the (Cincinnati) Bengals, wrote a letter to fans this week that has me fired up. No doubt about it, this is it. This is the biggest regular season game in Cincinnati in years.”
Given that, Bengals have to close the regular season with four out of the six games at home, Blackburn cried out for all the fans to show as much love and support to its players.
