David Todd: Quick Thoughts On Steelers Versus Bengals Wild Card Game

In one of the craziest and most-dramatic games I’ve ever seen, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 18-16 at rain-soaked Paul Brown Stadium Saturday night in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. As a boy I attended the Immaculate Reception game which, for me, will never be topped as a dramatic, incredibly unlikely ending. Ten years ago I watched Jerome Bettis fumble and Ben Roethlisberger make a temporarily game-saving tackle followed by the game’s most-accurate career field goal kicker, Mike Vanderjagt, shank a game-tying 46 yard field goal to put the Steelers one step closer to the Super Bowl.
