That fumble by Hill came after a huge high: Burfict's dramatic and seemingly game-sealing interception with 90 seconds left against a hated rival in a playoff game. Roethlisberger injured by a very hard hit by Burfict (if memory serves me correctly) and unable to hardly throw the ball. I was so high that I could hardly contain myself. The Bengals finally had won a playoff game. And it was against Pittsburgh!
And then the fumble. And Pittsburgh fans cheering.
Of course, as painful as this was for us fans, I can't imagine the off-season for a second-year player who had cost his team a playoff win.
It was painful for years. But maybe it was fitting that the playoff drought continued until Burrow, making that first win, on the way to the Super Bowl, so much more special.
