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.

Yep. Another thing to consider was the Bengals were sort of "average" after they started 6-0 that year. They had to rely on their running game because Boomer's shoulder was injured. The defense stepped up in the playoffs (as well as the rushing offense of course).

I was working at a Carvel in New Jersey and I was listening to that game against the Redskins. When he missed that FG, I screamed "YES!!" and 3 other customers were happy as well. I asked them if they were also Bengal fans and they said no. We are Giants fans and we hate the Redskins. Side note, the Giants played the Jets the next day and had they won, they too would have made the playoffs.
