Bengals WR Ochocinco fulfills promise, makes Lambeau Leap in third quarter against Packers

Ochocinco fulfills promise, makes Lambeau Leap

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Chad Ochocinco made good on his promise. Sort of.

The flamboyant Bengals receiver got a chance to do a Lambeau Leap after catching a 13-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter of Cincinnati’s game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Ochocinco got to the end zone and, after making sure a flag on the play was against the Packers, looked for a place to make his jump with about a half-dozen cameras following him.

He found a soft spot among three Bengals fans sitting together with one wearing a tiger-striped cheesehead in the first row of the northeast corner of the end zone.

Ochocinco had pondered this week whether the Packers fans would embrace him and said he wouldn’t be disrespectful of the tradition. The Cincinnati fans certainly enjoyed the leap.
