NFL game summary for 11/28/1976:

Franco Harris ran four yards through a driving snowstorm in the third quarter for his 13th and the club's 44th touchdown of the season, both records, and a win that also cut Cincinnati's lead over the Steelers and Browns in the AFC Central to one game. Chris Bahr gave the Bengals a 3-0 lead on a 40-yard field goal with 10 seconds left in the first quarter. Two stiff defenses plus snow and 20-degree temperatures froze up both teams' scoring attacks until Dwight White recovered a Boobie Clark fumble at the Cincinnati 24-yard line and Pittsburgh drove for Harris's score.
