McPherson’s effort helped the Bengals overcome an NFL playoff-record nine sacks by the Titans, whose pass rush was in the Cincinnati backfield on a consistent basis all game long.
Rookie kicker Evan McPherson hit four field goals, including a 52-yarder at the end of the game, to give the Cincinnati Bengals a 19-16 win over the Tennessee Titans in their Saturday AFC divisional-round playoff game. Burrow slammed his right hand on the turf, dragged himself to his feet and, with a clump of Nissan turf wedged in his helmet, calmly and Joe Cool-y signaled his accomplishment with a simple first down point. His head-first dive ended with Titans safety Kevin Byard crashing into him, knee to the back. Burrow got rocked four other times after getting the pass off, and he took another shot when he scrambled seven yards for a first down at the Tennessee 16. “He’s the toughest guy in the league,” Bengals defensive tackle D.J. “This one was really, really hard, intense game,” Burrow said. Never in NFL history have we seen a quarterback take nine sacks and still lead his team to a win in the playoffs until Joe Burrow pulled it off at Nissan Stadium, repeatedly lifting himself off the turf to help carry the Bengals to a 19-16 divisional round victory against the AFC’s No.
