Bengals, 49ers Advance to NFL Conference Championship Games

After a less than thrilling Wild Card Weekend, the divisional playoff matchups needed to live up to the hype.

With two games in the books, to say that the weekend is off to a good start would be the understatement of the year.

Even with the return of all-pro running back Derrick Henry and a record-setting pass rush, poor quarterback play doomed the number one seed in the AFC, sending the Tennessee Titans home from the playoffs in a 19-16 Cincinnati Bengals victory on Saturday.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked a playoff-tying record nine sacks, but managed to stay collected, getting Cincinnati kicker Evan McPherson into field goal range for the game-winning 52-yard field goal as time expired.
