It was happening again. The Bengals were getting anxious. Even safety David Fulcher, who had played a tremendous game, sensed that the game might be slipping away. They executed well, and maybe you could say things were happening so fast that we didn't get our feet settled. Things would happen even faster. After the timeout, Montana connected with Rice on a down-and-out pattern past cornerback Eric Thomas for 17 yards. He then hit Craig for another 13 yards.
