The screen game

The other way to exploit a bad linebacker corps is to use tight end crossing routes about ten yards deep across the middle.  I know this because every other offensive coordinator in the league did this to the Bengals successfully for about twenty years.

Just reading this gives me vague PTSD flashes of a game where the opposing QB had 5 or 7 straight completions in a row with Maualuga plodding 3-5 yards behind on all of them. What game was that?
