Nearly eight years ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers won a rather insane Wild Card matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals due to an absolute implosion from the Bengals’ defense.
At the center of it all was Joey Porter Sr. Just … not as a player.
If you recall that night of January 10, 2016, the Bengals held a slim 16-15 lead, but with 22 seconds to go linebacker Vontaze Burfict had a terrible hit on Steelers’ wide receiver Antonio Brown, knocking him out cold, leading to a 15-yard penalty. In the ensuing downtime with Brown being helped off the field, the Bengals were hit with another 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct due to cornerback Adam “PacMan” Jones for making contact with a Steelers’ coach and an official.
