Another bungals superbowl crushed by a bum leg...

Tim Krumrie

The Game: Jan. 22, 1989, Super Bowl XXIII, Cincinnati vs. San Francisco.

The Play: Bengals nose tackle Tim Krumrie put millions of fans off their nachos permanently with a truly stomach-churning injury. While trying to tackle running back Roger Craig, Krumrie?s left leg snapped like a breadstick, his tibia and fibula shattered in three places. Coach Sam ?Mr. Sensitive? Wyche ran over and yelled, ?Get up, Timmy!?

The Aftermath: The 49ers win with just 34 seconds remaining; it was the closest Super Bowl ever. After having a 15-inch rod placed in his leg, Krumrie returned to football the next season, but he never came back to the Pro Bowl or the Super Bowl before retiring after the 1994 season.
