The CRAZIEST HALFTIME in Cincinnati Bengals HISTORY | Buccaneers @ Bengals (1989)

In week 8 of the 1989 NFL season, the Cincinnati Bengals played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Riverfront Stadium. And at halftime, with the Bengals only up by five points and playing some sloppy football, offensive tackle Anthony Munoz decided to kick head coach Sam Wyche out of the locker room, in a bizarre move. What followed was nothing short of shocking.

I would love to hear the story of how Bryan Cox tried to fight the entire Bengals bench after they cheap shotted Pete Stoyanovich.

[@DarkDiamond]

Reminds me some of this week tbh

[@teen_laqueefa]

Munoz was THAT guy!!!! then he went on to those great Furniture Fair ads!!

[@markmiller3308]

He was in The Right Stuff long before being an ad man.

[@getbrainseeds]

your best buy is at furniture fairrrr

[@Fencellisk]

I wish Josh McDaniels would do that with every game. Leave at halftime and never come back.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

LoL 😅😅

[@Fencellisk]

@runrafarunthebestintheworl7810 this is an example of doing what's best for the team. McDaniels ego can't get out of his way.

[@teen_laqueefa]

Sam is a well loved part of the Bengals history

[@Wooly79]

Very cool story!! WHO DEY!!!

[@lafeelabriel]

And thats why that old saying goes "if it's stupid, and it works, it's not stupid (this time)"

[@johnnysama]

Wyche was not afraid to speak his mind, that was for sure. Anthony Munoz was truly a bada** in the trenches. :)

[@bigdaddyj452]

RIP Sam wyche. He's well loved here in Cincy. And he was a hell of a coach hoss

[@kevinramsey417]

He should have won a Lombardi, but always ran into a buzzsaw called the 49ers.

[@whataboutrob442]

@@kevinramsey417 He ran into the 49ers once in the Super Bowl

[@gothard5]

that first TB TD would definitely not be a TD today

[@johnpoole3871]

The poor 1989 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Being compared to a 1 year old has to sting.

[@Fencellisk]

I'd say the Bengals' best second half would be against the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. Shutting down that Chiefs offense is a major accomplishment.

[@gothard5]

yep. three times in a row now. 3-0 against Mahomes.

[@realtyranny3310]

Bengals play poor in the first half, then route Tampa in the second half? Hmmmmmm.........?

[@andrewpadaetz5549]

looked it up and yes, 56-23 was a Scorigami.

[@CTubeMan]

Maybe this is why Wyche kicked reporters out of the locker room after a loss the next year.

[@DolFan316]

I remember the '89 Bengals well. They faced the Vikings on Monday night in the finale, back when MNF games were actually played the final week of the season, and it was a de facto playoff game for both teams. The winner would get in, the loser was out. The Bengals lost and ended up last in the AFC Central at 8-8...with the exact same point differential as the '88 Super Bowl team!

[@williereynolds3113]

They were 5-1 against the division

[@nateadkins1919]

Sam Wyche was well loved by all in Cincinnati. Reggie Williams was a member of Cincinnati city council at the time. Anthony Munoz is, to this day, a pillar of the community. That team was and is special to this city, and it was so long ago that it makes the current team we have now just as well loved.

[@CTubeMan]

Williams and Munoz, along with Boomer Esiason, are the players on that team who could have gotten away with saying that to their coach.

[@anthony0358]

Rest in Peace Sam Wyche.

[@CTubeMan]

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made two videos about the last time the “Tababay” Buccaneers visited Cincinnati in 1980. You also made a video about how the NBC affiliate in Dayton covered both teams games the next week.

[@clydemiller4776]

And this Associate Professor of JG9 Studies would like to add that you also did a video on just how unbelievably bad the Buccaneers were during the Creamsicle Era. So bad, in fact, that the rest of the NFC Central petitioned the NFL to have the Bucs kicked out of their division.

[@CTubeMan]

@@clydemiller4776 Associate Professor. How much Cognac is that worth?

[@WaltGekko]

Oddly, Sam Wyche would later be head coach of The Buccaneers.

[@nintendopeachgaming1647]

Official JaguarGator9 I love the fact that all these videos are based on the games this Sunday and onwards, nice. Keep up the great work man. I love your channel on NFL History dude.

[@Fireyninjadog]

The Cincinnati bengals put up 41, 55, and 61 points in 3 separate games, and they didn't make the playoffs

[@DolFan316]

That's because they scored 21 or less nine times, and 17 or less 6 times. One of the most inconsistent offenses in NFL history. In fact, they scored just 7 in the next game.

[@jharp08]

Ickey woods injury really hurt. Then Mike Brown taking over pretty much killed

[@okolo22000]

“It’s all yours!” Anybody can be a great coach where you know when to shut your yap and give your franchise’s best player the keys to your Rolls Royce. 👍

[@KJakaBlackBandit20]

How ironic, the Bengals played the Bucs the year after they played in the Super Bowl that year...who are the Bengals playing the season after their Super Bowl season???

[@23mrcash]

It’s not much but I hope it helps you keep making these videos

[@OfficialJaguarGator9]

Thank you so much!

[@MichaelPiz]

I remember hearing about this right after it occurred. Sounded to me to be too cool for words. Nice job covering it.

[@dangeiger9796]

If you don’t have a video somehow related to today’s Vikings-Colts game, I’ll be disappointed. Maybe In Defense Of the Vikings punting in overtime

[@realtyranny3310]

WRONG!!!!!!! The craziest halftime in Bengals history came courtesy of Chad Johnson and Coach Marvin Lewis in January '06.

[@SPTO]

That's a great story. Wyche was one of the true characters in coaching and I'd say he was a fairly good one too at least from an innovation standpoint. He also was the QB coach in Buffalo for a couple years. Wyche was the perfect guy for those Bengals teams and they were a reflection of him and his sometimes brash personality. Sometimes it's better to let the players handle things rather than the coach. As you said, the Bengals were winning on talent alone. It was a great move by Munoz to have a players only meeting and basically kick each other's asses verbally for their bad play.

[@timfalch1969]

This is all about the player asking. With some players, you wouldn't dare aqueous to such a request. With Anthony Munoz, you'd trust him with your 1st born child.

[@philliefanalex94]

Watching this makes me wonder if the Vikings did the same thing today at halftime against the Colts

[@DolFan316]

Too bad that motivation didn't carry over, seeing as the Bengals lost their next 2.

[@americanidol30]

Ironically, three years after this game, Sam Wyche would be coaching the Buccaneers in 1992.

[@ShurlockHolmes]

I love Wyche. And I'm a Browns fan. But that run was rather forgettable. RIP Sam Wyche. I may be a Browns fan, But I don't live in Cleveland 😂

[@67marlins]

Growing up a Steelers / Houston Oilers fan from the 70s, I always hated the ohio teams. Even so, I think most Steelers and their fans respected Coach Wyche. Esiason thought the world of him, and I think I remember the Bengals struggled badly after Wyche was fired.

[@jharp08]

Pretty much when Mike Brown fully took over

[@chrisguardiano6143]

At least Wyche had a chance to coach his team in the 2nd half unlike Toni Schumacher who in 2000 as the coach of German 2nd division club Fortuna Cologne never had a chance. This is because as he was about to give his team the halftime team talk down 3-1, the owner of Fortuna Cologne, Jean Loring stopped him & fired him on the spot right in front of the players. Schumacher immediately left the stadium without getting the chance to say goodbye. Loring did this because he wanted to motivate his team to play better. However this move backfired big time as Fortuna lost 5-1. In addition to being a coach, Toni Schumacher is infamous for taking out Patrick Battison in the 1982 World Cup semifinal between France & Germany. Battison suffered cracked ribs, a fractured skull & a concussion as a result of Schumacher's take out and what makes this worse is that Schumacher never got a card for the foul or received any punishment afterwards. It is the worst unpunished foul in the history of soccer in my view.

[@VulpineKING]

Anthony Muñoz was my next door neighbor from pre highschool - highschool we'd play every weekend when he wasn't in a game or in practice. The man is a giant with his heart as well as stature. in my hometown (Ontario) they named a little park after him. I've never claimed him as a friend but definitely a mentor for how to do life. Be your best and always be kind. He's made me a life long Bengals fan!

[@cardphins68]

Anthony Munoz is the epitome of a Hall Of Fame Player. The man was dominant in his day.

[@Unknown-bq9id]

After the Colts-Vikings game, I have a Dumb Decision: the delay of game penalty by the Colts that GAVE the game to the Vikings--and helped the Vikings complete a 33-point comeback. Poor Matt Ryan: he'll be known for blowing a 33-point lead here AND for blowing the 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl against the Patriots...

[@chancellor2755]

I like your videos, I have watched several. If I could offer some constructive criticism. Its obvious you are on to something with the classic side stories of the NFL. My only complaint is... you REALLY know how to bury the lead. I know you are trying to meet a certain amount of time for your videos but...taking almost 8.5 mins before even addressing what the video is actually about is a long haul for some viewers. If I see a video that takes 16 mins I assume there is a lot to the story. However more often than not some of these could be summed up in 2-5 mins. I look forward to seeing your channel grow, I am subbed keep up the good work. Go Bucs!

[@chrisortiz9343]

Cinni made a huge mistake ever firing him but that's how it goes Sam came to the bucs and drafted the first few pieces of The famous bucs defense that won them a superbowl sometimes your the bug and sometimes your the Windshield in the NFL

[@marcus813]

I wish I didn't remember this game. I wish the Bengals players didn't boot Wyche from the locker room because they smacked my Buccaneers after halftime. That shows how good of a leader Munoz was. BTW, Erik Wilhelm's surname is pronounced WILL-helm, not WILL-um.

[@Bigchet1223]

I have a question. How do u find all these obscure stories from games from years ago? You seem like a younger guy. Just curious.

[@whysosyria1]

Is it me or it seems like alot of your videos center around something bad about the buccaneers, I know we didn't have a glorious history but still.
