The trifecta plays of 2012 (iirc on the year). Bengals vs Steelers. Win gets us the playoffs, and kicks the Steelers out. The game was an incredibly ugly 10-10 game. We punt the ball with 45 seconds left. We figure the game is going to OT or the Steelers will pull something off as would tend to happen in Bengals history. A few plays happen and then...
Then 3 consecutive plays from every unit happen that shows the team means business. Ben Roethlesberger scrambles for a while and throws downfield. PICK by Reggie Nelson. We are at about midfield with 14 seconds left. Andy takes the snap and throws an absolute strike to AJ on a corner route that gains 20 yards as he gets out of bounds with 6 seconds left. Finally Josh Brown absolutely nails a 43 yard field goal to crush the Steelers' hopes.
That was a moment where I thought we were really changed as a franchise. Then the next 5 years happened and everything is the same but I was happy then
