The Cincinnati Bengals will have plenty to snack on when they settle in to watch the NFL Playoffs.
When the Bengals helped the Buffalo Bills make the postseason for the first time in 17 years by beating the Baltimore Ravens, the Bills returned the favor by sending the Bengals a massive gift of 1,440 authentic Buffalo wings from Duff’s, a local chain restaurant famed for its hotter-than-hot buffalo wings.
A quick recap: The Bills had won in Week 17 to keep their AFC playoff hopes alive, but a win wasn’t enough—the team needed the Baltimore Ravens to lose. Enter Andy Dalton and Taylor Boyd of the Bengals. Down 27-24 with just 44 seconds left and one final play left on fourth down, the Bengals pulled off the stunning come-from-behind victory with a 49-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Boyd. The Bills were watching from their own locker room, while fans all over Western New York rejoiced in excitement after ending the longest playoff drought in the four major sports.
Here’s a look at the order from Duff’s:

Now, the Bills are preparing for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Wild Card Round of the playoffs, while the Bengals are scarfing down hot wings.
So, like the nutrition-obsessed dudes we are, we started wondering: What are the macros in that massive list of food?
We decided to break it down.
Cincinnati Wingfest 2018: the methodology
The numbers:
1,440 chicken wings =
17.65kg (38.91lbs) of protein16.78kg (36.99lbs) of fat 9.346 kg (20.60lbs) of carbs
6 gallons of blue cheese dressing =
0.316kg (0.7lbs) of protein17.66kg (38.93lbs) of fat1.099kg (2.423lbs) of carbs
9 gallons of Duff’s wing sauce =
0 protein, fat, or carbs, BUT 460.8g (roughly 1lb) of sodium in total.
90lbs of celery =
281.66g (0.6lbs) of protein69.39g (0.15lbs) of fat1,212.35g (2.67lbs) of carbs
30lbs of carrots =
126.5g (0.27lbs) of protein32.64g (0.071lbs) of fat1,302.9g (2.87lbs) of carbs
Side note: Yes, your body only gets about 3.5lbs of useable macronutrients out of 90lbs of celery. The rest is basically water.
Oh, and by the way: The Seattle Mariners are now owners of the longest playoff drought in any of the four major North American pro sports. Should a team ever find themselves securing a playoff berth for the Mariners, maybe they could look forward to a few pounds of roasted, spiced grasshoppers—the macros on those are much better.
