Bengaldom holds on to the late great Dan Ross like that 19-yard catch he scraped off the Riverfront Stadium ice rink for Ken Anderson’s longest throw in the Freezer Bowl. If it’s not one of the greatest catches in the history of the franchise, it certainly has to be one of the more unworldly on that supernatural day of a minus-nine wind chill.
Dan Ross Jr. saved that catch and so many others and froze them in his own era on his phone. He sees that play a couple of times a year because that’s how many times he usually watches that Currier and Ives AFC title game and the ensuing Super Bowl his father caught everything but hell when he tied the Big Game record with 11 catches two years before he was born.
