The best part about the NFL's wild-card weekend was not the brainless quarterback draw the Cowboys ran in the middle of the field with 14 seconds to play and no timeouts, nor the Bills turning the Patriots into a frozen treat, nor the Chiefs sending Ben Roethlisberger into retirement with a swift kick in the pants.
It was what Bengals coach Zac Taylor did after the Who Deys won a playoff game for the first time in 31 years.
What he did was, he hit the bar on the way home.
No, not to drink. To present the Bengals fans gathered there with a game ball.
Taylor stopped by the Mt. Lookout Tavern, a favored hangout for Bengals fans, on his way home from the Bengals' 26-19 win over the Raiders. There he made a brief speech and delivered a football with the team logo on it to the patrons, who were likely well-lubricated by that time.
And for those wondering "What about the league's Bastard Plague protocols?", he kept his distance and didn't stay long.
Now that's how you do a last call. And win the heart of a city.
