The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals played a wild season opening game Sunday afternoon, which saw the kickers for both squads become focal points during the game, and also the broadcast. Unfortunately for CBS, however, they missed one of the bigger plays in the game as Chris Boswell made a field goal to give Pittsburgh a 20-14 lead. The Fan Morning Show on 93.7 The Fan in the Steel City lamented the moment.
“I guess it’s the first game for everyone,” Colin Dunlap said. “It’s a consequential moment. It’s gigantic. I’m waiting for it to happen. I believe it was the one to make it 20-14 to make the Steelers go up, but I wouldn’t know because on my television they totally missed Chris Boswell kicking a field goal. All you see is it landing on the ground beyond the uprights. I love CBS, but how do you miss a field goal?”
“The only reason I knew it was good was because the players put a fist up like ‘Yes!’, and I thought it must be good because I can’t see the dang thing,” co-host Dorin Dickerson added.
“It’s like they were trying to use the camera above the field on wires and they lost the shot for a second so their fallback was cut to the sidelines,” Chris Mack said.
