A late-game interception sent Bengals rookie Evan McPherson on the field for a 54-yard field goal and a spot in the AFC Championship:
This was the first ever road win for the Bengals in franchise history.
Tannehill’s night was bookended by interceptions, the last of which proved costly. The Bengals built an early 6-0, thanks to two field goals, with the first coming off an interception by Tannehill. In the second quarter, the Titans’ offense settled in and marched downfield for a 3-yard rushing touchdown by Derrick Henry. This was Henry’s first game back since fracturing his foot -- originally believed to be a-- in Week 8 of the regular season against the Colts. The Titans’ two-point conversion was unsuccessful, leaving the score tied at six apiece.
The Titans’ defense recorded two of their nine sacks on the night in the following drive, forcing the Bengals to settle for a field goal. At the half, Tennessee trailed Cincinnati 9-6. The Bengals’ offense continued to bring the heat after the break. A rushing touchdown by Joe Mixon, who pranced into the end zone to push their lead to double digits, followed by another turnover by Tannehill seemed all but ready to send the Titans into a spiral.
