Bengals Ring of Honor Game Set for Monday Night Football

Call this class the Sting of Honor. In the vote of season ticket holders announced Thursday, the physical and roughhouse style of Bengals greats Corey Dillon and Tim Krumrie were added to the Bengals Ring of Honor: "He's one of the toughest SOBs on the planet, so it's fitting we're going in together," Dillon said.

The Bengals will induct Corey Dillon and Tim Krumrie during Monday Night Football on Sept. 23 against the Washington Commanders.

"That was the whole thing. Production," Krumrie says. "And finally the good thing is everybody recognized it. Fans recognized the production."

"There's a whole lot of stuff to be thankful for," Dillon says. "There's a lot of stuff I would have done differently, but I wouldn't change this moment for the world. This is it. This is what it's supposed to be."

With the Bengals Ring of Honor voting opening Wednesday, we offer a ballot refresher course.

No one has straddled the Who-Dey generations quite like Bengals Ring of Honor member Willie Anderson, one of only a handful of men to play with both this year's Ring of Honor inductees Boomer Esiason and Chad Johnson.

When Norman Julius Esiason and Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson accepted their spots in the Bengals Ring of Honor Thursday, the franchise quote quotient had to be at an all-time high as the two biggest personalities in club history briefed the media. The highlights from a reporter's notebook.

It turns out there is plenty of room in the Bengals Ring of Honor for the franchise's two biggest personalities.

"I will always remember I got this because of the season ticket holders," Esiason says. "I'm sure there were some that didn't like me there for a few years (but) I'm sure a lot did appreciate at least what I tried to bring to them." 

The Bengals today announced that QB Boomer Esiason and WR Chad Johnson will be added to the team's Ring of Honor in 2023. They will join Ken Anderson, Willie Anderson, Paul Brown, Isaac Curtis, Anthony Muñoz and Ken Riley in the Bengals Ring of Honor.
