Boone run for 1 yd for a TD. Moore pass,to C. Moore for 47 yds for a 1ST down. Anderson said he heard talk before the game about a postponement. Chargers owner Gene Klein even approached Bengals assistant general manager Mike Brown urging him to postpone the game before it started.
But with a forecast much of the same in the coming days, the show went on. The game would be played. It was time to prepare. Ready or not, the Bengals took the field. So the first thing you're doing is figuring out what to wear.
The Bengals locker room before the game was a scene out of a prop comedy routine. Players scrambled to figure out what to wear under their pads trying anything that would provide any kind of comfort to the grueling conditions. Anderson had to be careful with his layers as to not restrict his throwing, he said.
He came up with a happy medium. Somebody brought pantyhose down and I guess there weren't many of those that fit players.

Despite what would be an unusual game day temperature for the team from San Diego, Fouts said the Chargers were ready to earn a Super Bowl berth and there were no excuses about the weather. We knew the Bengals, they knew us. The game kicked off and despite winning the toss, the Bengals elected to have the cold wind at their backs rather than receive.
