Again, I'm asking for honesty.
Back in 2015 when Burfict intercepted Landry Jones pass on the Steelers 26 yard line with 1:36 to go;
How many thought:
1. Game over, Bengals first playoff win! Steelers have just one time out. Bengals only need a first down to go to a knee.
2. With this franchise, it's not over until the clock reaches 00:00, with the Bengals ahead by at least one point, and there are no yellow flags on the field.
I was watching that game with my son, and when Burfict intercepted that pass my son was yelling, "Game over dad, game over!!"
I calmly looked at him and said, "Son, with this franchise it's not over, until it's over!" (A Yoga Berraism)
I absolutely thought #2. My older brother is the optimist and was in Who Dey mode. My dad and I knew the world was ready to pounce on the Bengals being Bungles.
