Cincinnati Bengals announcer loses his mind over game-winning score
By Jason Marcum
Sunday’s win over the Green Bay Packers was one to remember for anyone who’s a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, but it was even more special if you had the pleasure of listening to Dan Hoard and Dave Lapham calling the game as the Bengals made a furious second-half rally after being down by as many as 16 points and looking dead in the water.
The play that ultimately gave the Bengals a 34-30 lead and the win was the fumble-return touchdown cornerback Terence Newman scored late in the fourth-quarter, and the excitement and joy that any Bengals fan with a pulse was feeling can best be summed-up by the sound of the radio call by Hoard and Lapham as it occurred:
