1981 Ken Anderson beating the Bills with the no-huddle and then out dueling Dan Fouts in the Freezer Bowl, to come up just short inside the 5 in SB 16.
2022 As others have mentioned, likely one penalty from going on to probably winning the SB. Last year's defense was tough.
1988 Boomer and that OL!
2015 Why the 2015 Bengals here?  "Good" Andy was a broken thumb away from likely being NFL MVP that year.  If he were healthy, I feel like the Bengals could have won the SB that year.
2005 Pre injury Palmer and a strong OL and opportunistic, turnover creating defense.  If Palmer doesn't get Kimoed, they likely go on to win it all.
2021 Big play Burrow with a pair of deep threats for the league to try to catch up to.  A lotta luck got them to the big dance, needed a little more on OL.

I wonder if the Bengals win a playoff game in 2005 if they go on to win more other seasons. It became mental at some point.
