Bengals QB Joe Burrow said their kicker Evan McPherson did a couple of warm up kicks before the game winner then told backup QB Brandon Allen: "Well, looks like we're going to the AFC Championship Game." A few moments later, he nailed a 52-yarder to win it. Legendary â„ï¸

Game News
Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson is a perfect 8/8 on FGs in the playoffs. Clutch.
Near the end of the first half, Bengals RB Joe Mixon made sure to deliver the football right to the official so he could set the ball down as soon as possible. Last Sunday's Cowboys game was a reminder for all players. pic.twitter.com/P059FXgoeT
20 seconds left. Bengals need one chunk play before they can kick a FG to win the game. They haven't been able to protect Joe Burrow and the Titans are NOT allowing Ja'Marr Chase to get behind them. BANG! Burrow to Chase for 19-yards vs 2 man trail
I ran in heels for this video. Here's Zac Taylor entering the locker room after the win pic.twitter.com/YGK3yhYPYn
Bengals CB Mike Hilton on the way to the locker room: "Stop doubting us. This s—- for real."

Build the statues for Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt after the last two games
An underrated point of this Bengals season: C.J. Uzomah runs like an absolute tank.
D.J. Reader at the podium was just outstanding in every way. That is the type of guy you build a team/defense around.
A solid half for Bengals WR Tee Higgins in a homecoming game. The Oak Ridge, Tenn., native has caught all five of his targets for 69 yards.
That said, really dumb by Eli Apple to put himself in that position. twitter.com/AlbertBreer/st…

#Bengals inactives vs Titans: WR Stanley Morgan WR Trenton Irwin HB Trayveon Williams OL Fred Johnson CB Vernon Hargreaves DE Wyatt Ray
B.J. Hill goes down in the notes for a huge play if the Bengals can get points out of this.
Chris Evans having a hell of a postseason as a kick returner. 32 yarder there
Terrific throw, terrific catch. Tannehill to Brown's back hip over Chidobe Awuzie. We're tied at 16 in Nashville. #Titans #Bengals
Lou Anarumo getting aggressive on the first third down of the game. Brings both Hilton an Bell on the blitz and they meet at the quarterback. Bengals defense so far against four plays has a turnover and three-and-out. Big energy from the road club.
Bengals with a stop on the two-point conversion from the one on a huge tackle by Clay Johnston (wow) against Henry. Bengals 6, Titans 6.
Get used to seeing Vonn Bell all the way up in the box today. That's not going away.
Trey Hendrickson and Taylor Lewan have a nice chat during the quarter break. Bengals 6, Titans 0.
GO BIG OR GO HOME. #Bengals dressing 5 NTs in absence Larry Ogunjobi. #RuletheJungle pic.twitter.com/8U6M5bZNcX
I've turned into my mom, so I repeat myself - kicking game is important - and wowee (since I've turned into my mom, I used her word) rookie kicker @McPherson_Evan just came through for his team - congratulations Mike Brown, Katie and Troy Blackburn, Paul Brown and @Bengals fans.
Bengals OC Brian Callahan not available for 2nd round interview this week. If, you know, Broncos wanted to. Coaches in conference finals can't be interviewed till Jan. 31-Feb. 5 window. #9sports
Watching Trent Taylor catch that punt was like watching Australia crowd Jimmy Anderson against a spinner at the end of the Ashes Test.
Third and 9 already tough enough and now Isaiah Prince with a false start to make it third and 14. That ends in a sack you just can't take and McPherson now has to try from 54.
The Cincinnati Bengals have enjoyed one of the NFL’s luckiest injury streaks this year and that continues going into Saturday’s playoff game against the Tennessee Titans.
With edge rusher Trey Hendrickson out of concussion protocol and names like defensive tackle Josh Tupou overcoming weeklong injury concerns the list of inactives for Saturday’s game doesn’t offer any surprises:
The big exception to the good luck is, of course, the loss of starting interior pass-rusher Larry Ogunjobi. But with D.J. Reader and others healthy, the team has a surplus of guys they can kick inside to replicate the strategy
Ah no worries @Bengals defense. It's just Derrick Henry running full speed at you COVERED IN METAL twitter.com/rapsheet/statu…
Bengals HC Zac Taylor knows Titans QB Ryan Tannehill well. Taylor was a Grad Asst at Texas A&M from 2008-11, the same four years Tannehill was there. When Miami drafted Tannehill in 2012, Taylor followed him there, serving as his QB Coach from 2012-14, and Tannehill's OC in 2015.
Jeffery Simmons became extension eligible at the end of this past regular season and at this point $20M/year and partial ownership of the franchise seems like a fair offer.

From @NFLGameDay: #Titans WR Julio Jones didn't miss a practice rep for the first time all season, which is a great sign. And is his sidekick AJ Brown about to get paid? pic.twitter.com/KY0G11Ya2B
Denico Autry's a stud. Colts should've never let him leave.
INCREDIBLE INT. Amani Hooker takes it right back for Tennessee! #Titans #NFLPlayoffs 📺: #CINvsTEN on CBS 📱: bit.ly/3qOmrf6 pic.twitter.com/Ij31p6hR90
The Titans are the first team to record 3 sacks in the 1st quarter of a playoff game since the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX (39) against the Eagles. Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, played in that game and accounted for one of those 1st quarter sacks. pic.twitter.com/s0DU30y1Ec
pure disaster from Todd Downing no excuse for that 3rd down or 4th down play call epic disaster

Also, something that shouldn't go unnoticed: Mike Hilton was the one who tackled D'Onta Foreman, too. Heck of a two play-sequence that could change this game.
.@Titans inactives vs @Bengals: LB Rashaan Evans DL Larrell Murchison DL Teair Tart OLB Derick Roberson WR Dez Fitzpatrick OL Dillon Radunz
Still trying to figure out how Jackrabbit Jenkins didn't catch that INT that was gifted to him.
Randy Bullock's 34-yard FG makes this a one possession game. How much uneasier would you be right now if Bullocks' PAT wasn't taken off the board and it was 16-10 instead of 16-9?

Bud Dupree joins the sack party. All four of the #Titans front have sacks now. Loss of 16 yds.

Titans without starting nose tackle Teair Tart today. He was listed as questionable on the injury report. twitter.com/jwyattsports/s…
Taylor Lewan says he doesn't think it's in question whether or not he'll be back next year. Admitted it wasn't his best season but says he has no doubt he'll be back to himself next year. #Titans
Burrow sacked on @Titans first play on defense. Naquan Jones got 'em
