#2 was probably Stanford Jennings kick return TD that gave us a 4th quarter lead in SB23. Our offense, which had been great all year, had played like total crap, but our defense, which was not that good that year, was playing out of their heads against the best offense in the league. It was 6-6 in the 4th quarter with zero offensive tds, and I really felt the game would be decided on some big play on defense or special teams. I went nuts when Jennings scored. At that point I really believed we would win.
I was a sophomore in High School at that time, and as Jennings broke through the first wave of defenders, I started screaming loudly with some curses thrown in. He almost was tackled at the one, but as he crossed the goal line, I yelled "F-uck Yeah!!"!!. First time I ever purposely cursed in front of my mother. She didn't bat an eye.
I agree; at that point I also thought the Bengals were going to pull it off.
