In the most chaotic ending in franchise history the Bengals stay in the thick of the AFC Wild Card race today when Jets quarterback Joe Namath sees what he thinks are two touchdown passes taken away in the final 39 seconds and Bengals linebacker Bill Bergey stones Jets running back Brice McCain on the half-foot-line on what turns out to be the game’s final play for Cincinnati’s 20-14 victory. Namath can’t get another play off with five seconds left when he doesn’t get a handle on the snap and the Jets are called for illegal procedure as the game ends in a hail of flags with the Jets seething that the Bengals came charging across the line too soon.
