back-up to Steve Bartkowski on the 1974 Atlanta Falcons,
Cahill returned to the northwest where he had been a
star at Olympic CC and caught on with the Bengals.
Cahill
quarterbacked the Bengals to an 8-1 season, losing
unexpectedly to the Flyers to start the season, but
rallied to 8 straight victories and another
championship.

a then-Bengals record for Total Offense with 2,054 total
yards (1,938 passing and 116 rushing). He threw 26
TD's on 126 of 231 with 9 interceptions.
