The Cincinnati Bengals are heading to Tennessee this weekend to face off against the Titans in the AFC division round. The game is set for 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday. The match up was set after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. The Chiefs will now face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.SATURDAY:No. 4 Bengals vs. No. 1 Titans No. 6 49ers vs. No. 1 Packers SUNDAY:No. 3 Bills vs. No. 2 Chiefs The Bengals are fresh off their 26-19 win against the Las Vegas Raiders, ending their 31 year postseason drought. Joe Burrow led an efficient offense that scored on six drives, including two of his touchdown passes, and rookie Evan McPherson made four field goals as the Cincinnati Bengals finally advanced in the playoffs with a 26-19 win over Las Vegas in Saturday’s wild-card game. It was a victory three decades in the making for the Bengals (11-7), who hadn’t won in the postseason since 1991. After going from worst to first in the AFC North with a generally young roster, they ended an embarrassing long postseason drought that spanned 31 years and eight consecutive defeats.The Bengals had to survive a Raiders drive to the 9-yard line, but Derek Carr was intercepted on fourth down by Germaine Pratt.Helped by some problematic officiating by Jerome Boger’s crew that might have allowed Burrow’s touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd to count when it shouldn’t have, the Bengals also extended a lengthy postseason drought for the Raiders (10-8). Las Vegas, which won its final four games to squeeze into the playoffs, last won in the postseason in the 2002 AFC championship game.Cincinnati made it 4 for 4 on scoring drives late in the first half, though with some controversy. Burrow rolled right to avoid pressure and threw from close to the sideline. Play continued despite an erroneous whistle by an official, who thought Burrow stepped out of bounds. Boyd caught the 10-yard pass in the back of the end zone for a 20-6 lead. The play counted, to protests from the Raiders, who cited the rule that the ball should be returned to the previous spot.And Las Vegas lost by seven points.
