Before last Thursday night, legendary sportscaster Al Michaels hadn’t called a Cincinnati Bengals (+3.5)
victory since October 24th... 2004. It was a Monday night game against the Denver Broncos (+5), and it was when ABC still had the rights to Monday Night Football.
A couple of years later, Michaels took his broadcasting talents to NBC and became the voice of Sunday Night Football. He was on the call for eight Sunday night Bengals games, and witnessed eight Bengals defeats.
So naturally, the first time Michaels calls a Bengals game not on Sunday night, they win.
