The man, who was not identified, was participating in the Bengals’ “Slice the Uprights” field goal challenge, which gives fans a chance to win free pizza. A successful attempt from the 10-yard line gives the kicker free pizza for a year, and a successful attempt from the 30-yard line gives the entire stadium a free slice of pizza.

But fans had more than just pizza to celebrate on Sunday.
Joe Burrow went 23 of 30 for 252 yards and three touchdowns, beating the Cleveland Browns 24-6 and keeping their playoff hopes alive. Ja’Marr Chase had six catches for 97 yards and a touchdown, giving him a total of 1,510 yards this season, breaking the franchise record of 1,455 he set in 2021.

Kicker Cade York, who replaced the injured McPherson this month, also set a record with his 59-yard field goal in the second quarter. He tied the franchise record set by McPherson in 2022.
The Bengals improved to 7-8 and were now the hosts Denver Broncos next.
