We’ve already discussed how the Bengals reacted to Pittsburgh Steelers wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster dancing on their logo before Cincinnati pulled off a huge upset on Monday night — clearly, Cincy took it as a sign of disrespect.
The Bengals had a taunting moment of their own on Monday night that the Steelers might have seen the same way.
Cornerback Mackensie Alexander intercepted Ben Roethlisberger in the first quarter of the eventual win and as he was heading toward the sidelines, HIGH STEPPED!
Now, you could say that a mostly terrible team like the Bengals shouldn’t high step at all in 2020. But having some fun while pulling off an upset like this over a heavily-favored Steelers team is OK by me.
Here’s the moment:

My goodness, that high step. The Steelers’ Chukwuma Okorafor was whistled for the late hit, too.

Mackensie Alexander high-stepping in the second quarter of a close game will be my favorite moment of the #Bengals season. pic.twitter.com/nV8fHPdpe9

Not everyone approved:
Great interception, but next time cut back and go score instead of high stepping at the 45 yard line SMH. #MNF pic.twitter.com/gMfVSTG1iV
