Thursday Night Lights

By Philip Johnson

Local teen Philip Johnson reportedly watched the Cincinnati Bengals game that occured September 29th, at 8:30 pm. The Bengals faced off against the Miami Dolphins in an interconference matchup.

Johnson made sure to wear his favorite Giovani Bernard jersey while watching the game. The Bengals started fast but ended their first drive with a measly field goal to which Johnson was not satisfied. He believes this team is overloaded with talent as he said “Dad, we’re way too good to be kicking field goals against the Dolphins. This kind of red zone execution is trash.” Johnson's younger sister, however hates it when the Bengals come on TV because her brother gets way too excited. When the Dolphins scored Johnson got upset and she responded,
“Shut up, I'm doing homework”. Since the Bengals are rarely broadcasted in the area there was no way Johnson was missing this one. In fact he almost missed the start of the game trying to find his jersey.

When it got to around 10:30, Johnson's dad told him he had to go to bed. After hearing this, he snuck downstairs to watch the rest of the third quarter. Unfortunately once his dad found out he got yelled at. Of course a fan at his level always streams the game on his phone under the covers so his dad can't see.

When the game ended it was 11:50 and Johnson still had homework to be done, he finished that, but rewatched the highlights of the game a few times. He went to sleep with a happy heart, and forgot to take off his jersey, so now it's wrinkled.
