“So for us, it’s almost just like another game,” Derrick Hill said. “A parent perspective is going to be a little bit different than a fan or outsider. You don’t have the same level of excitement as a fan would have. You have more of a concern of safety and having a great time out there.”
But when the Bengals drafted Dax last spring, the Hills knew Justice and Dax would be back on the same field; the Ravens and Bengals are AFC North rivals and play twice a year. In October, the Hills were in Baltimore when the Ravens and Bengals played the first time this season. But an injury kept Justice on the sideline that day.
“That was exciting because Dax got a chance to stick his brother on kickoff return a couple of times,” Derrick said with a chuckle. “That was fun, how they entertained each other on the field.”“They thought that was funny,” Tia said.As much fun as the brothers seemed to be having, their parents enjoyed those moments every bit as much.
