Just did a little research on that season and here is a fascinating fact. In 8 of the Bengals 15 games that year (including the playoff game) the opposing QB was a Hall of Famer.
Terry Bradshaw, Steelers (2 games)
Len Dawson, Chiefs
Roger Staubach, Cowboys
Joe Namath, Jets
Fran Tarkenton, Vikings
Bob Griese, Dolphins
Johnny Unitas, Chargers....Most people forget Unitas played his final season in San Diego. After attempting 31 passes against the Bengals in the third game of the season he would only throw 10 more in his career. He lost his starting job the next week to a rookie QB from Oregon, but even if it had happened a week earlier we still would have faced a Hall of Fame QB in Dan Fouts.
