The Bengals will play in their first AFC title game since the 1988 season.
It was a miracle finish fitting for a miracle season. With 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson picked off Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill. On the following play, Burrow delivered again under pressure.
"Our team never panics," Taylor said."You’ve seen us down by a whole lot… It never fazes our guys. Tie games down the stretch is something our guys live for." Then on the Bengals' opening drive of the third quarter, Burrow bounced back from a first-down sack in Titans' territory. On third down, he dove for the first-down line when he didn’t have any open receivers. On the following play, Mixon ran for a 16-yard touchdown as the Bengals took a 16-6 lead.
Bates opened the game with a pick, Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton deflected an interception to himself and Cincinnati’s run defense held one of the NFL’s best running backs in check for most of the game.
