Logan Wilson’s interception sets up Bengals’ game-winning field goal

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson (55) celebrates with Cincinnati Bengals free safety Jessie Bates (30) after intercepting Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (17) in the fourth quarter during an NFL divisional playoff football game, Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn. Cincinnati Bengals defeated Tennessee Titans 19-16.

It was one of the biggest interceptions in Cincinnati Bengals' playoff history.

Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson halted the Titans' drive late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's playoff game in Nashville with an interception of Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill at the Bengals' 47-yard line with 20 seconds left.

A 19-yard pass from Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase put the Bengals in field-goal range, and Evan McPherson's 52-yard field goal a couple of plays later gave the Bengals their first-ever road playoff win - 19-16 - sending Cincinnati to the AFC Championship game for the first time since the 1988 playoffs.

Wilson's INT was the Bengals' third of the game. Mike Hilton intercepted Tannehill earlier in the second half, and Jessie Bates III picked him off on the Titans' first play from scrimmage.

Cincinnati will go on the road again one week from Sunday to face the Bills in Buffalo or the Chiefs in Kansas City.
