You won me over, @Bengals fans! I’m officially proclaiming myself a Bengals fan for the rest of the season! How do I show myself worthy?

I went public with those words Monday on Twitter. I felt great writing that then. I feel better writing that now.

I did not see this coming.

Saturday, I felt surprisingly relieved when the Browns lost to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, rivals of my childhood team. Then Sunday, I could not stop checking my phone as the Bengals were routing the Ravens. I could not believe what I was feeling. Excited. Proud. Happy. Happy for you. Happy for us. I felt fandom. Bengals fandom.

I was a Bengals fan.
