Terps in the NFL: Three former Terps advance to Conference Championship games

After this weekend of NFL Divisional Round playoff action, which was one of the most exciting in NFL postseason history, three former Terps officially punched their tickets to the Conference Championship games.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jake Funk and second-year safety Antoine Brooks Jr. advanced to the NFC Championship with a 30-27 thrilling win over Tampa Bay and Cincinnati Bengals second-year linebacker Keandre Jones advanced to the AFC Championship with a 19-16 win over Tennessee. Both games were won with a walk-off field goal.

Funk saw the field for just under 60% of the Rams’ special teams snaps and Brooks played in 45% of the special teams snaps.
