A playoff first at Foxboro for ANY of the Wildcard Teams?
 
IIAC No matter who wins and comes to Gillette next sunday,it will be the first meeting between them and the Patriots at Foxboro.

I don't recall EVER playing the Steelers,Bengals or Broncos either at Gillette OR Shaeffer in a playoff game.

And if it is the Bengals it will be the first time the two teams ever met in the post-season.

And if it's the Broncos I'd prefer we don't talk about the other two times we've met them in the playoffs. :bricks:

Well, I'm sure you did have to IMAGINE the game since I'm sure it was difficult to actually see the game through the fog.

My seats in the old stadium at the time were in the north endzone. They set off fireworks on the field right before the game started and the smoke didn't go anywhere and mixed with the fog, making an already bad sight situation ten times worse. Ah the good times! Then, I believe it was the next week when the lights went out several times during the game against the Jaguars. We were still the Patsies back then. :)

3) No Mike Shanahan
