T he NFL overcame the game. It is not for nothing that it is the most followed competition in the United States of America, the nation of the major leagues (NBA, MLB, NHL or the NFL itself). It is groundbreaking, it brings a sport that is complex in appearance and not so much in terms of dynamics to the world far from professional sports. And in the victory of the Cincinnati Bengals over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (20-27) he continued to break boundaries. This time the real thing with one of the most followed and praised series of all time, the Simpsons.

Cowboys-Bengals was the game chosen for the transformation of the NFL world into the Simpsons. Thanks to that relationship (same group) between ESPN and Disney+, the sport moved to the world of Springfield with the characters very present. Peaking on the final play, when Bart passed it to Lisa for Cincinnati’s victory.
It wasn’t a script. It was the Simpsons changeup of the game-winning play. There the two Bengals superstars, Joey Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, connect to define a game that was tied in the last quarter.

It was not the only epic moment of the meeting. Because it came from a huge mistake by Dallas, suffering a block on his punt, which ended in the Bengals’ decisive touchdown. He completely despaired the Cowboys who were in the doldrums this season. They have five wins and eight losses (same record as, curiously, Cincinnati).
Furthermore, Burrow and Chase, the two heroes of the game who underwent their transformation into a cartoon, continue to form an unparalleled duo despite the poor results of the season. This season, the QB has 3,706 passing yards, 33 touchdown passes and 285.1 yards per game. It is the first in all three areas. Like Chase in receiving yards (1,319), touchdowns converted (15) and sacks (93).
