TDBH: Bengals rout Oilers in Wild Card re-smash, face Raiders in AFC semi

Two weeks after drilling the Oilers at home, 40-20, the Bengals return to Riverfront Stadium to rip their division rivals and open the AFC playoffs today with a 41-14 victory in a Wild Card re-smash. Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason does it all to lift his post-season record to 3-1 and undefeated at Riverfront when he draws up a play at halftime, is the game’s leading rusher with 57 yards and a TD, throws for two more TDs, and sets the scene for next week’s AFC semifinal in Los Angeles that is a re-match of last month’s Raiders’ win in The Coliseum.
