The postseason adventures will continue for the Bengals and their favorite fans.
Following Cincinnati’s stunning divisional-round win Saturday against Tennessee, the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff race, Olivia Holzmacher, the longtime girlfriend of quarterback Joe Burrow, got the celebrations started in Nashville.
“Who dey!” Holzmacher exclaimed in an Instagram Story as she and Morgan Mead, the fiancée of Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson, hit the streets of the Music City.
In a separate post, Mead wrote, “We’re leaving Nashville winner winner chicken dinners!!!!”
The Bengals have been making history throughout the postseason, beginning last week when they snapped a 31-year playoff victory drought after defeating the Raiders in the wild-card round. Saturday’s 19-16 win against the Titans marks the first time the team has won on the road in the postseason.
“We’re here to make some noise, and teams are going to have to pay attention to us,” Burrow said Saturday.
The first-overall pick in 2020, Burrow — who has been linked to Holzmacher since 2017 — completed 28 of 37 passes Saturday for 348 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception. He was also sacked nine times throughout the game.
“That’s a really, really good team. Unbelievable defensive line,” Burrow said. “They had a great plan on defense. Credit to them, we found a way at the end.”
Bengals rookie Evan McPherson kicked a 52-yard field goal as time expired, punching Cincinnati’s ticket to next week’s AFC Championship game.
The Bengals will now face the winner of Sunday’s showdown between the Chiefs and Bills.
