Bengals eye spoiler role at Brady Homecoming
The matchup with the Patriots Sunday (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) may be Tom Brady’s Homecoming, but the Bengals aren’t the ones wearing the letter jackets as they stalk their first win in Foxboro since the year the ball went through Buckner’s legs.
That would be 1986 when the Red Sox lost the World Series and the New England faithful is in a similar lather awash in World War II-sized headlines as they pay five times the price of a ticket to view Brady’s first home game since getting out of Roger Goodell’s doghouse.
The Bengals.com Media Roundtable gives a heavy edge to the Patriots and their iconic quarterback and they don’t have to leave the stat sheet.
