Nanker Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 "The history book is littered with no-name Bills killers" One he doesn't mention that is similar to Don Cannonball Nottingham IMHO is from old Kukla-look-alike Chris Collinsworth. Chuck Knox had a belief similar to Vince Lombardi that a rookie was not worth game-planning for. CC tore The Bills to shreds twice that year and most galling was in the Playoff loss in SinSinAtty. "The Bengals would go on to finish with the best record in the AFC at 12-4, as QB Kenny Anderson won the NFL MVP, and offensive Player of the year by passing for 3,754 yards and 29 TD passes with league leading completion percentage of 62.6. Many of Anderson's landed in the hands of Rookie WR Chris Collinsworth who caught 8 TD passes, while gaining 1,009 receiving yards in an impressive first season. In the first ever playoff game at Riverfront Stadium the Bengals and Buffalo Bills battled back and forth, with neither team having much trouble moving the ball. With the game tied at 21 late in the 4th Quarter Ken Anderson hit Chris Collinsworth with 16-yard Game winning TD Pass as the Bengals advanced to the AFC Championship Game. The Bengals hosted the San Diego Chargers in freezing temperatures where the win chill at game time was 59 degrees below 0. The Bengals seemed better suited to the extreme temperature and came away with a 27-7 win to advance to their first ever Super Bowl." LinkyDinkyDoo The Bills would have beaten the 69'ers.
