That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Bengals and Eagles.
Terrell Owens
Terrell Owens, often known by his initials, T.O., was one of the most dynamic and controversial wide receivers in NFL history. Selected in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Owens played for five teams over his 15-year career.
He earned six Pro Bowl selections, was a five-time First-Team All-Pro, and led the league in receiving touchdowns three times. His 153 receiving touchdowns rank third in NFL history, and his 15934 receiving yards rank third as well.
Despite these impressive numbers and his significant impact on the game, Owens had to wait until his third year of eligibility before being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.

With the Bengals, Blake had his most productive years. In 1995, he was selected to the Pro Bowl after throwing for 3,822 yards and 28 touchdowns. Blake was known for his deep passing ability, consistently ranking among the league’s best in yards per completion.
Throughout his career, Blake also had stints with the Saints, Ravens, Cardinals, Eagles, and Bears. After retiring from professional football, Blake transitioned into coaching and mentoring young quarterbacks, including his son Emory, a former Auburn University quarterback.

Known for his physicality and leadership on the field, Spikes was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and a first-team All-Pro in 2004. He amassed over 1,400 tackles in his career, a remarkable feat that places him as one of the best linebackers of his era.
He recorded 29 sacks and 19 interceptions over the course of his career, demonstrating his versatility as both a run-stopper and a capable player in pass coverage. He was also known for his durability, as he played in at least 13 games in 13 of his 15 NFL seasons.

Eric Bienemy
Eric Bieniemy is a former running back and a current coach in the NFL. He was drafted in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. Over his playing career, Bieniemy also had stints with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Philadelphia Eagles.
While his playing career was relatively modest, it’s his coaching career that has garnered more attention. Bieniemy has been the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, a role he assumed in 2018.
Under his guidance, the Chiefs’ offense has been one of the most potent in the league, highlighted by their Super Bowl LIV win following the 2019 NFL season. Bieniemy has received high praise for his work with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and for the creativity he has brought to the Chiefs’ offensive schemes.
