The Cincinnati Bengals got themselves out of their recent slump by securing an important road win against the Dallas Cowboys on "Monday Night Football." The Bengals came into AT&T Stadium on the heels of a three-game losing skid, and they made sure that they were not going to go home empty-handed.
Joe Burrow led the charge for Cincinnati, completing 33-of-44 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Ja'Marr Chase also played a crucial role in the win, marking 14 receptions for 177 yards and two TDs.
After the game, the two Bengals stars shared a hilarious moment on the field as they celebrated the win. Chase started it all by smashing a donut right on Burrow's face while the latter was doing his post-game interview.
Not to be outdone, Burrow got his star wide receiver back by also digging a donut into Chase's face.
Burrow also made sure that the donut would stick as he forcefully smashed it into his teammate's cheek.
Burrow and Chase's postgame moment quickly blew up online as the NFL world reacted to the two's playful donut-smashing antics.
"They are so cute " a comment on X read.
"The new, true meaning of ‘bronuts,'" said another.
"the brotherly love is still alive," reacted a user.
"This is my new favorite video of all time," claimed a supporter.
"I love these guys " said another.
"Love seeing this duo like this " a user wrote.
The donuts were a prominent part of Monday's "The Simpsons Funday Football." This was a first-time partnership between the league and the iconic cartoon show, which also featured various Simpsons characters taking the place of the players in an animated real-time version of the game.
The Bengals improve to 5-8 after this win and they will need to get another victory on Sunday, Dec. 15, when they battle the Tennessee Titans. More of the same will be expected from Burrow and Chase as Cincinnati looks to keep its playoff hopes alive.
