Despite the Philadelphia Eagles getting off to a rocky post-Super Bowl start and the Cincinnati Bengals underperforming even with Joe Burrow returning to form, many were looking forward to this Week 8 matchup between the AFC North rivals. Why you may ask? Two words: Zach Top. It’s no secret that Top has been one of the buzziest country stars in the game right now.
