In February, everyone around the Cincinnati area was feeling the Bengals spirit as the team was preparing to make its first appearance in the Super Bowl since the 1980s.

Including Cheviot, the suburb west of Cincinnati, which temporarily changed several street names to honor Cincinnati Bengals players and team founder Paul Brown. The signs were paid for by the Cheviot Business Alliance, and no city money went into the signs.
