Oh yes. My first after moving back home from from Texas was his first start. The crowd mad an audible gasp when he launched that first deep ball. I think it was to Darnay Scott. They beat the Oilers who I hated even more than the Stealers at the time. 

The only comparable memory to that was being at PBS for the game against the Vikings in 2005. 2nd play of the game Palmer threw a perfect deep ball that hit Chad in stride for the first of 6 or 7 touchdowns the Bengals score that day. They also had a long Chris Perry pitch/run for like 80 yards called back for a bs holding call. I knew we were going back to the playoffs that year.
