2022 was our Bengal’s year
Our return from decades of despair
Who would have guessed the Super Bowl?
The thought of it, too much to bear
The Bengals won the toss and deferred
Stafford sacked, the Rams had to punt
Then Burrow’s pass was deflected
The Rams were back in the hunt
Stafford to Beckham, the first touchdown
Then McPherson kicked a Bengals' field goal
But the Rams marched back down the field
Touchdown two put them back in control
The Bengals soon came storming back
Joe Mixon passed for a trick play
Tee Higgins caught the ball for a touchdown
The Rams, 13-10, on the day
Quarter three, Tee Higgins scored a touchdown
Even though he grabbed Ramsey’s facemask
Then the Bengals intercepted Stafford
Kicker Evan McPherson, up to the task
Fourth quarter, the ball went back and forth
The Rams finally scored on a one-yard pass
The Bengal got the ball with one twenty-five left
But Joe Burrow’s team ran out of gas
The final score, twenty-three to twenty
It easily could have gone the other way
But our Bengals had a fantastic season
And we think it a truly great day
