Nebraska fans, media react to Zac Taylor leading Bengals to first playoff win in over 3 decades
Published:
The Cincinnati Bengals snapped an unfortunate drought on Saturday night, posting a 26-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in the AFC Wild Card round of the playoffs. It was the franchise’s first postseason victory in 31 years.
Leading the team was head coach Zac Taylor, a former Nebraska quarterback. After a pair of less-than-impressive years in Cincinnati, Taylor led the Bengals to a 10-7 record and a playoff victory.
After the win, Nebraska fans and media showed plenty of support for the former Husker. Here are some of the reactions from Saturday night’s win over the Raiders:
