The Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers both claimed shock wins thanks to field-goals as time expired despite both coming into their NFL divisional round clashes in the playoffs as underdogs. Rookie kicker Evan McPherson drilled a 52-yard field-goal to give the Bengals a 19-16 win over the No. 1 seed Tennessee Titans and advance to their first AFC Championship game since the 1988 season. Burrow told reporters that before going out for the game-winning kick, McPherson said to him: "Well, looks like we're going to the AFC Championship Game." San Francisco got their own field-goal shortly after, before the Packers replied with their own in the second half.
