Sam Wyche had come to Cincinnati as head coach prepared to shock a few people. By December 2, 1984, the Bengals were on the brink of shocking the nation. Their challenge for the AFC Central crown was augmented in this showdown at Cleveland Stadium. Their overtime period was forced when Boomer Esiason passed a last-minute TD to tackle Anthony Muñoz. It offset the longest field goal in Browns history and set the stage for Cincinnati's 20-17 win.
