Bengals get late INT, walk-off field goal to beat Titans and advance to AFC title game
Yahoo Sports ^ | 1/22/2022 | Frank Schwab

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.

Yeah, Cincinnati may still be a player or two away from really threatening to win the whole thing.

Did anyone post the WWE results? Have they started using the new folding chairs?

I also didn't see the NFL stats for kneeling and just how bad "whitey" is so far for 2022.

Yeah, zero respect for anyone who supports anti-American and anti-white attacks made by korporations lining their pockets.

I agree. We need an offensive line and a lock down corner. We’ve got 50 million in cap money.

Well...I guess Brady gets another ring.

Dirt eee Mother effer!

I think Rodgers is done. I bet he calls it quits.

Two Walk Offs, and both #1 seeds bite the dust.

LOL!
2 upsets today in my opinion.
Tuff environment to play in.
Rodgers? Who knows. I think he has another year with G.B.

The Niners defense is stout, they made some serious adjustments after Green Bay made it look easy on their first drive, I couldn’t have imagined that would be their only TD of the game.

There was speculation he would replace Big Ben.

I agree. The bye week seems to be a let down the what is considered the better teams. That’s my impression anyway.
Rodgers looked up phased walking off the field.

I knew there would be virtue signaler responding to this thread, and you didn’t let me down! Go back to watching golf Barbie while the men talk football.
