TDBH: Specialists nearly make Bengals Super in 20-16 heartbreak

MIAMI - It figures. In a duel between Boomer Esiason’s NFL MVP trophy from Cincinnati and Joe Montana's two Super Bowl rings from San Francisco, the only touchdown scored for the first 75 minutes tonight in Super Bowl XXIII is by a career special-teamer that never returned a kick all the way before '88 or since. And for good measure the smallest man on the field stands to swipe the biggest prize when Bengals kicker Jim Breech coolly drills his third field goal of the game on a 40-yarder with 3:20 left that gives the Bengals a euphoric 16-13 lead and Breech the game MVP.
