In those 1990 playoffs, the Bengals beat the Houston Oilers in the Wildcard playoff game. The team that knocked them out the following week was ...... the Oakland Raiders, the same franchise in which they ended their playoff victory drought against on Saturday. That game against the Raiders 31 years ago wound up being Bo Jackson's last in his career, as he sustained a denigrative hip injury after a 34-yard gain.

No ...... Collinsworth played on both of the Bengals' Super Bowl teams in 1981 and 1988, but not on the 1990 team that lost in the divisional playoffs.

He was a rookie in 1981 when they lost to the 49ers in Super Bowl XVI, and his final season as a player was in 1988 when they lost to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII.
