If the Bengals win Super Bowl LVI, tight end C.J. Uzomah revealed the most Cincinnati way he will celebrate.

The Cincinnati Bengals have the chance to win their first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history on Sunday, Feb. 13. The franchise made two trips to the big game in their history, but they ended up on the losing end each time at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. To win their first Super Bowl title, they will have to defeat the Los Angeles Rams.

How will the Bengals celebrate if they are to gain possession of the Lombardi Trophy? Tight end C.J. Uzomah revealed during a media session that he will take a bath in Skyline Chili. The quote and video come courtesy of ESPN’s Ben Baby.

You can tell how committed Uzomah is to this celebration, even going as far to say that he will even jump in a swimming pool of Skyline Chili, based off of the video above.

Uzomah’s status for Super Bowl LVI is currently unknown, as he suffered an MCL sprain in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs. On Thursday, Feb. 10, Uzomah was a limited participant in practice.

The 29-year-old had himself a career year in 2021. That is one year removed from when he suffered a torn Achilles early on last season. Through 16 regular-season games, Uzomah recorded 49 receptions for 493 yards and five touchdowns, all of which were career-highs.

In Cincinnati’s Wild Card Round game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Uzomah caught all six targets from quarterback Joe Burrow for 64 yards and one touchdown. Uzomah followed that performance up by catching 7-for-8 targets for 71 yards in the Divisional Round against the Tennessee Titans. Uzomah went catch-less in the aforementioned Chiefs game, where he left the game early due to injury.

Whether Uzomah plays or not, he is going to celebrate with some chili if the Bengals win Super Bowl LVI.
