Ja'Marr Chase left teammate Joe Burrow in a bit of a mess after the Bengals' win at the Cowboys by shoving a donut into the quarterback's face.
Burrow was at the center of a media scrum following the 27-20 win on Monday, when he was approached by his star wide receiver.
Chase snuck up behind the quarterback and ambushed him by rubbing a Simpsons-themed donut into Burrow's face, leaving him stunned.
The quarterback was left covered in pink icing but he soon got his revenge, hugging Chase before grabbing his own donut and returning the favor.
Minutes earlier, they had combined to lead the Bengals to a dramatic win at AT&T Stadium on Monday Night Football.
Burrow threw a game-winning 40-yard touchdown pass to Chase after Dallas botched a blocked punt in the closing minutes.

Nick Vigil blocked a punt by Cincinnati's Ryan Rehkow, only for Amani Oruwariye to try and field the bouncing ball.
Oruwariye couldn't hold on, allowing the Bengals' Maema Njongmeta to recover with 1:53 remaining.
Three plays later, Burrow threw to Chase who secured the Bengals the win.
The winning TD ensured a fourth consecutive game of at least 300 yards passing and three touchdowns for Burrow, who finished with 369 and three scores, two to Chase.
Chase, the NFL leader in yards receiving and touchdowns, had 177 yards and is up to 15 TDs.
The receiver later made sure not all the postgame treats went to waste. Chase was seen handing out the Simpsons-themed donuts to kids in the stands.
