I remember listening to this game on WLW since our Columbus NBC showed the Browns instead. My grandpa, who lived north of Dayton and got to watch the game, called me right after and said "congratulations" because they finally won.
When I watched this live I was still mad at Blake and ECU for beating the Bearcats is whatever bowl game they were playing in the previous year. Don't remember the bowl now.
even though the Bengals had alot of bad years I think NFL was more entertaining then. Advertising overshadows the games now. CBS, "Commercials Before Sports".
Id say akili smith was worst honestly but klingler a close second and didnt gino toretto play there too he would tie klingler and heath shuler played there to hell may have as many shit qbz as my squad the raiders have damit
Thanks for this. I'm a Giants Fan,but always like Jeff Blake. He was so underrated!

Darnay Scott and Carl Pickens were incredible. Jeff Blake throwing dimes to them was fun to watch.
Thanks for posting! Tough to find Blake footage that isn't slow motion highlights.
Agreed. I like posting the actual game footage instead of adding loud music and flashy visual effects.

It's amazing..after years of qb futility, the Jets let go a live-armed young kid walk out the door
Awesome! I love the old Bengals footage.

6 FG's and a safety sure was an unusual combination to hit 20 points.
I give up searching for David Klingler highlights
Frood 😂😂 right
Total bust
Thanks, Sammy - do you have any other Blake era games with the Bengals?
I do, I'll post when I get a chance.
@@Mr1sammyd21 or message me - Bengals 94-99 with Blake are the ones I'm looking for? Will trade or pay.
Blake had great long ball!
“Eight and eight with Mighty Blake!”
I remember Andy Furman on WLW used to say "8-8 in '98" and it was 1993 at the time.
Jeff Blake is my cousin
The Bengals were so bad, the recording is fuzzy
dave shula the greatest coach ever
Is that sarcasm, or do you really mean that?
No he wasn'it taco
Fun fact: Zac Taylor has a worse winning percentage.
Who were the announcers and if I remember right, Bengals first win that year
Mike Bush and Beasley Reece. A team NBC rarely used.
the worst Bengals Q.B. well Dave Klinger is in a class by himself!!! Blake sucked!!

Uh-oh...another NC State Fan.
You know Blake made the Pro Bowl once, right?
Blake was pretty fam good for the fact he played for some of the worst teams at that time but had forgot he made a Pro Bowl
Blake is the Bengals number 5 all time passer, but yea "sucked"
