But after years of Bengals allegiance it did not shock me.
But damn it was a long, wet ride home that evening.
I was wearing a rainsuit, and I was still soaked and pretty cold. But, on the interception, when it looked like we were about to break the jinx, that cold, miserable night was all going to be worth it. The loudmouth Steeler fans behind us left skidmarks gettuibng out of there after the pick. In 16 seasons of that place, I don't recall a more jubilant moment. It was 65,000 people all realizing at once: this is it. We're going to get a playoff win, and against the Steelers. Jesus, what a belly drop. When I got in the car I tore of the rainsuit and stewed all the way home.
Five months later, I can laugh. A little.
