Devon Still and the Cincinnati Bengals are playing under some special circumstances on Thursday night as they take on the Cleveland Browns in a key game on the week 10 NFL schedule.
Leah Still and her family get to enjoy a special moment this week. Having battled pediatric cancer with tremendous support from the Bengals franchise, Leah was able to attend this game and see her dad play football in person.

Clearly this night means much more to Devon Still and his daughter than it will ever mean in standings or by any other measure. There have been a number of touching moments between Leah, her dad, and the Bengals’ fans over the course of the evening. Not to be overlooked, however, is the tribute Still had to his daughter on his equipment.
He has the words “Leah Strong” written on his eye tape for Thursday night’s game.

Forget that it is a bit of cliche, because this needs to be said in this instance: so often, kids look up to athletes for inspiration as they grow up and try to achieve special things. But every now and then, a special moment will come along where the kid inspires the grown-ups. That is certainly the case with Leah Still.
