History has a funny way of repeating itself.For the New York Jets, that could be music to Rex Ryan's ears.Saturday's showdown in Cincinnati marks the 26th anniversary of a playoff matchup between these two teams, when in a strike-shortened season the Jets, led by quarterback Richard Todd's 20-for-28 and 269 yards, upset the Bengals in Riverfront Stadium by the score of 44-17.The Jets rolled into Cincinnati clear underdogs with a regular season 6-3 record, along with the challenge of having to play on the road in frigid weather at the river in the Queen City of Ohio.The Bengals (7-2), then led by quarterback Ken Anderson, found themselves squarely in control with a 14-3 lead early in the first half, only to see the Jets change the momentum on a Derrick Gaffney touchdown reception on a Freeman McNeil option pass. The Jets would strike again on a four-yard pass from Todd to Wesley Walker to take the lead for good at 17-14.The Jets would extend the lead to 30-17 on a McNeil run of 20 yards and a game-crushing 98-yard interception return of Anderson by Darrol Ray, which pushed the margin to 20 points at 37-17.The Jets would end the scoring with a one-yard run by Dwayne Crutchfield and end a decisive pounding of the Bengals, 44-17.The win was impressive in that these were the defending AFC Champions who a year earlier were one Joe Montana drive from being crowned Super Bowl Champions when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers 26-21 at Detroit's Pontiac Stadium.The normally reliable Anderson was 26-for-35 for 354 yards with two touchdowns and three bad interceptions.
