What a great thread! So many memories.
Old school alert: Sitting in the upper deck at Riverfront back in the 70's vs. Cleveland. Right before halftime, looks as though Bengals will run out the clock. Anderson drops back, throws one about sixty yards in the air down the left sideline to Isaac Curtis. Our seats were looking right down the sideline; perfect view of the play. It seemed like the ball was in the air forever -- I can remember my buddy saying, "Can it be?!" Curtis catches the ball in perfect stride, coasts into the end zone, and flips the ball over his shoulder like he always did. That was when Cleveland was the biggest game on the schedule.
For people who weren't around then: Isaac Curtis should be in the HOF. He was so good that Pittsburgh would just tackle him at the line. The NFL changed the rules to limit contact between DB's and receivers.
