First with the OT rule last year (Need I remind you that Burrow didn't need the coin toss in OT to beat Mahones); and now this\
No, it is the third time. In 1989, the Bengals were running a no-huddle offense that put them into the 1 seed. But before the championship game against Buffalo, Marv Levy said that if the NFL didn't do something about that no-huddle offense, he would tell his players to fake injuries so that they could get their substitutions in. Did Buffalo get raked over the coals for such a plan? No, on the very day of the championship game, the Bengals were told they could not run the no-huddle they were running all year.
They won that game, but that change may have cost them the Super Bowl.
Yes, I've been a fan since 1968, so I was around for that sudden change of rules to accommodate the Bills. It is something I'll never forget.
