We had season tickets at Riverfront during the 1988 Bengals Super Bowl season.
During the last game of the season, we were tied with the Redskins with time running down in the 4th quarter. The Skins were about to kick a short field goal and my wife and I decided to head to the car and leave early 'cause the FG try was a chip shot.
About the time we got to the car we heard a loud roar from the stadium. Turned on the radio and heard the kicker shanked the ball off the upright. The Bengals won in OT and we missed the best part of the damn game.
I remember this game so well. I got so pissed I turned the TV off and swore I would never watch football again. I turned the TV back on 3 minutes later to see the game still on and they had missed the FG. I think if we would have lost that game Buffalo would have had home field advantage.
