Tim Krumrie

Tim Krumrie is a former American Football defensive tackle who played his entire NFL career for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1983 through 1994. Krumrie is currently the Defensive Line Coach for the Buffalo Bills. He´played his college career at the University of Wisconsin.

Regrettably, Krumrie may perhaps be best known for suffering one of the most dramatic football injuries ever televised, a shattered leg during Super Bowl Super Bowl XXIII against the San Francisco 49ers. This particular Super Bowl game was also noteworthy because of the gruesome broken leg suffered by defensive tackle Tim Krumrie. While trying to tackle 49ers running back Roger Craig, the cleats on his left shoe caught in the grass and the rest of Krumrie's body was spun around nearly 180 degrees. He suffered two breaks in his tibia and another in his fibula. A 15-inch steel rod was surgically implanted to stabilize the leg, and, amazingly, Krumrie was ready by the next training camp and played five more years.
