The Cincinnati Bengals celebrated their 32-14 win Thanksgiving night against the Baltimore Ravens on the field at M&T Bank Stadium with NBC's Melissa Stark, and they were hilariously awkward as they ate turkey legs and other holiday food.
Bengals linebacker Joseph Ossai choked as he talked with food in his mouth about the team's defensive effort. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow asked Stark what the crab was.

"What just happened?" NBC play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico joked.
Burrow was named Madden Thanksgiving MVP after lifting Cincinnati to a win in his first game back since suffering a turf-toe injury during a Week 2 win against Jacksonville.
The broadcast also showed Bengals head coach Zac Taylor's congratulatory locker-room speech, in which he urged players to "take a piece of chicken" as they accepted game balls.
Tirico and analyst Jason Garrett mocked Taylor for calling it chicken, as the dish was actually turducken.
