Second half played in a snowstorm

Based on memory this had always been one of my favorite regular season Steelers games but after watching excerpts of this not a lot happens - sort of defensive struggle that led to the rules changes to open up passing game:chuckle:

Video runs out before Ken Anderson's throw into end zone on 4th down was broken up to end game

oh wow. I don't even recall this one.

Thanks for posting, AD!

The Bengals were tough that year and even the Stains were 9-5.
