The Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders dined in style before their Monday Night Football game at Paycor Stadium.

Several Bengals and Commanders players, including quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels, visited a Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse on Sunday night, according to an X-post from the local restaurateur. The Bengals and Commanders coaching staff, owners, general managers, former players and the ESPN broadcast team also dined at the local steakhouse, according to Ruby’s post.

Ruby did not provide any information about which places the teams visited or whether they ate dinner together or separately.

“As a restaurant owner, it is a great pleasure to have both the Commanders and Bengals dine with us tonight,” Ruby wrote. “Thank you all. Our guests were happy to see you.”

Ruby also posted a photo alongside ESPN sports reporters Joe Buck and Lisa Salters and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, writing, “Nice people and regulars.”

ESPN announced in May that Buck, Aikman and Salters will host Monday Night Football again this year. This will be the trio’s third season together and Buck and Aikman’s 23rd season overall, extending their record as the longest-tenured hosting duo in NFL history, according to ESPN.

In May, Buck told NFL Network’s Rich Eisen that he and Aikman will be in Cincinnati to watch the Bengals’ game against the Commanders on ABC. Buck is also moderating a session at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit in Cincinnati on Monday morning titled “Pro Playbook: How to Become a Master Storyteller in an Ever-Changing World.”

The Bengals will host the Commanders on Monday night at Paycor Stadium for the third week of the NFL season. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m.
