It was freezing, and they left the new grass field uncovered overnight and it was in such poor condition that the Jags complained to the league about it. There was nothing on the line and we had only won two or three games to that point. Akili was done at that point and I think Scott Mitchell was in at QB. And again, it was freeing sitting in those canopy seats of mine. But, we went and toughed it out. P-Dub ran back a punt for a TD and the Bengals scored ten points in the last minute-plus to win. You just never know.
Nobody would go with me to that game. Second coldest game in Cincy. Two win team. Nobody in my section. At halftime I got up to go to the bathroom and almost fell down the stairs because I couldn’t feel my legs. I just kept walking all the way to my car.
