Never, have I seen the same player muff two punts in the same game. Even the worst teams, even the winless Lions and the almost-winless Browns of just some short years ago never had a player do that. That probably never happened to the horrid 90s Bengals. I was ready to give up the game but got enthusiastic when Ja'Marr scored. Still, after the Bengals yet again stopped the 49ers and got a good start for Joe B, they sacked him and I didn't think they could come back.

I gave up, did some other stuff, and then was shocked to find out somewhere else that the game went to OT. Then, I was too afraid to find out the final score until just this morning. What a roller coaster. Oh well. I always tell myself that even if the Bengals went on some kind of dynasty run like the 49ers, like the Patriots, or even like the Steelers, it would make absolutely no difference in my day-to-day life. As someone else said (something to the effect of, anyway); it's easy to be a bandwagon fan for a winner. I choose to be a Bengals' fan.

It's happened A LOT of times.

Not taking a jab or anything, but if you watched more football, you would see it happens much more-often than you think.

EDIT* Just went to look it up, DEVIN HESTER, arguably the greatest returner in NFL history, had *8* games where he muffed at least twice (and 2 where he muffed it THREE times).
