At this time in 1994. A first in NFL History

It was at this time in 1994. Riverfront Stadium was the site for the first ever Father Son NFL Head Coach match up. Don Shula led the Miami Dolphins into Cincinnati to take on son David Shula and the Bengals. The Bengals were terrible at that time. The Dolphins were rebounding from a 9-7 season from the previous year and were led by Hall of Fame Quarterback Dan Marino. I was at that game with James Westerheide, his Dad and my Dad. The Bengals jumped out to a 7-0 lead thanks to a David Klingler to Darnay Scott Touchdown pass 4 plays into the game. Marino would show is greatness in final 3 quarters. Throwing for 2 touchdown passes one each to Keith Byers and Mark Ingram as the Dolphins defeated the Bengals 23-7.
