RULER OF THE JUNGLE
The "Ruler of The Jungle" leads fans in the signature Who Dey chant right before kickoff to get the crowd roaring. The Ruler of The Jungle for Sunday's game will be Bengals legend Ickey Woods.
Woods took the nation by storm with the "The Ickey Shuffle." After scoring a touchdown, Woods would shuffle his feet to the right and hold the football out to the right, shuffle his feet to the left and hold the football out to the left, and finally finish by doing three hops to the right and spiking the football into the ground.
