That was obviously a huge turning point in the game, but contrary to what many (not saying you, Matt) will have you believe, it wasn't on the last, fateful and deciding 49ers drive.

I have to admit that Assante's play is tougher than I remember.

It's a misconception....but it was the beginning of the end

Threw it right into his hands. Ugh.

I was not even born and that hurts me.

Seeing footage of that game still makes me sick at my stomach, even twenty years later. I will contend the rest of my days that the Cincinnati Bengals were the best team in the National Football League in 1988.

Didn't the niners get a TD on the next play?

I'm not sure the last drive matters as much if they are down by an additional 7 points

Yes, it was definitely a big play in the game, as I originally mentioned - all I'm saying is that many incorrectly recall it being on the final drive of the game (right before Montana to Taylor).

As much as I like to think I recall Bengals and Reds history precisely, I was among those who thought that until you pointed out otherwise today.

Ahh. I always remembered it as a play that happened on an earlier drive; I probably haven't ever noticed that people had Fisked it.
