All NFL game summaries for 01/09/1983:
The defending AFC Champion Bengals lost an early 14-3 lead and were dismantled by the underdog Jets. The 7-2 Bengals were the AFC's No. 3 seed in 16-team "Super Bowl Tournament," organized for the strike-shortened regular season. Running back Freeman McNeil led No. 6 seed New York, rushing for 202 yards and a TD against Cincinnati's No. 3-ranked rush defense.
Cincinnati trailed only 23-17 after three periods, but suffered a particularly demoralizing fourth quarter, which included two interceptions (one for a TD), a TD pass nullified by a false start penalty, a missed field goal, a lost fumble and two rushing TDs allowed.
