It is the 4th quarter: 1:55 remaining with Cincinnati trailing 15-10. The Bengals have the ball and face a 3rd and 7 on the Pittsburgh 25 yard line. A.J. McCarron delivers a touchdown pass to A.J. Green to give Cincinnati the lead with 1:50 left. The Bengals fail to convert the two point play. The score stands at 16-15.
At this point, the Bengals relied on their defense to win and advance. The first play of the Steelers drive was a pass intercepted by Vontaze Burfict. So, that’s it right? The game is over and the Bengals get their first playoff win since the 1990 season.
