The Cincinnati Bengals started playing football in 1968. They had never won a road playoff game before Saturday night.
It seems impossible to go more than 50 years without one road playoff win. But the Bengals stood at 0-7 in road playoff games.
Things are changing for the Bengals.
The Bengals, whose last playoff win before this season came in January of 1991, won their second playoff game in eight days and are moving on to the AFC championship game with a 19-16 win over the Tennessee Titans, the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson got a deflected interception with 20 seconds left near midfield. It was Ryan Tannehill's third interception of the game, and it was crushing. That set up a game-winning field goal as time expired.
There were multiple times on Saturday in which it seemed the Titans would storm back from a 10-point deficit and crush the Bengals' dreams. But the defense made some huge plays. And Burrow, who tied an NFL record by being sacked nine times by the Titans defense, brought it home. He hit a huge 19-yard pass to Ja'Marr Chase to put the Bengals into field-goal range. Rookie Evan McPherson then hit the field goal to put the Bengals into the NFL's final four.

Do liberals watch football?
In fact they stood as a team while other teams were kneeling.
Burrow has the chance to take over Brady’s legacy if he can get some offensive lineman who can protect him
dont see them beating bills or chiefs but anyone can have a bad day.
Just checked weather around G.B. Lots of snow about an hour West. Should be interesting Second Half.
I even liked Burrow when he was at LSU. He’s just got that something that QBs have to have to win. Even nine sacks couldn’t stop him.
its very cold there. San Francisco not used to it.
I bet on Packers and Anti Vaxxer Quarterback.
You must be a Savant. 😉
It was that stupid decision to go for the 2 point conversion in the first(?) quarter that came back to haunt them. With a one point lead with 40 seconds on the clock, they could simply have run down the clock and won.
Niners still don’t have an answer for Davante Adams. Gonna be a long night for the Niners.
Yup!
I think Buffalo has the same thing Cincinnati has - they are finally HUNGRY!
It looked like Tennessee was happy with going to OT, then why throw on 3rd down?
Another stupid decision.
i bet Adams for anytime td and first and last.
Dillon made the first TD
Bengals beat the Chiefs a few weeks ago
True...but Chiefs going to pour it on in this high stakes game.
meanwhile..transgender swimmer smoked competitors
why dont they have transgenders as running backs in the NFL...lollolol
state farm commercial...mahomes not Aaron.
we will see if they have put the kabosh on him during Prime time
Frankly, the Chiefs will have a hard time getting past Buffalo.
If they do, the Bengals will take care of Chiefs. Again.
At the risk of dating myself, I was wearing a Batman t-shirt in my first grade class picture.
Dont throw 3 INTs in a playoff game. Its why Titans left points of the board and lost.
