Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Tennesse Titans in their AFC Divisional Round game through a game-winning 52-yard field goal by their kicker Evan McPherson. The Cincinnati Bengals won this game with the score of 19-16.
The Cincinnati Bengals are heading into the AFC Conference Final where they will face the winner of the match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. The Tennesse Titans on the other hand despite being the No. 1 seed in the AFC have been knocked out of the playoffs.
Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow was full of praise for the rookie kicker in his post-match conference and told that Evan McPherson said to his teammates, “Looks like we’re going to the AFC Championship.“, before taking the game-winning 52-yard field goal.
A match winning performance by the Cincinnati Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson
In just his rookie season the Bengals kicker Evan McPherson dropped a match-winning performance as he made 4 field goals throughout the game and most importantly made the game-winning field goal sending the Cincinnati Bengals to the AFC Conference Final game.
Evan McPherson kept the Cincy team in-game throughout the match as Burrow was finding it difficult to get touchdowns and instead they were relying on the field goals which McPherson did not disappoint not even once as he converted all his attempts in the match.
Joe Burrow was sensational once again and had a solid game but failed to get any passing touchdowns just because of his O-Line which was not able to help him as he got sacked 9 times in the game which is a major concern for the Cincinnati Bengals team.
Cincinnati Bengals will now face the winner of the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in the AFC Conference final which is the last hurdle for Burrow and company before reaching the Super Bowl which will be an astonishing achievement by the team who not so long ago was struggling to even have a season above .500.
It is rightly said that Joe Burrow has changed the culture at the Bengals and the future looks bright for this Cincy team which has many young players who are on their way to stardom.
