On the heels of an epic Divisional Round, it was a memorable Conference Championship weekend in the 2022 NFL Playoffs. The Cincinnati Bengals pulled off the largest road comeback in Conference Championship history with a stunning 27-24 overtime win over the Kansas City Chiefs, while the Los Angeles Rams overcame a 17-7 4th quarter deficit to finally vanquish the San Francisco 49ers in a 20-17 victory.
Cincinnati’s previous two Super Bowl trips saw them lose to the San Francisco 49ers. This time they play another NFC West team in the quest for a famous first Lombardi Trophy, and unlike those Bengals teams of the 1980s, no one outside of the Bengals organization and its fans could’ve forecast a deep postseason run.
