Bengals will include Devon Still’s daughter in their opening ceremony
The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Cleveland Browns this week and Leah Still the daughter of Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still will be present. The Bengals have done quite a bit for Still and his daughter already this season, but this will be one of the most special because it will be the first time Leah is able to watch her Dad play football.
“It’s going to be added motivation just knowing my daughter is watching me,” Still said, via the Cincinnati Enquirer. “I want her to be able to hear how the crowd cheers that loud whenever I make a tackle, so I’m going to go out there and do whatever I can to put a smile on her face. It’s a fast week and I don’t want to get caught up in too much emotion with my daughter, [but] it will probably be the most special game I’m ever going to play because I know my daughter is going to be here to watch me play. All the money that’s been raised for the cancer research is because of her strength and because she’s fighting this disease. So it’s definitely going to be an emotional game for me.”
