LOS ANGELES (AP/WJW), — It’s over. It’s over. All decided. Both teams will now be heading to Los Angeles for the Super Bowl on February 13.
Cincinnati’s 18-point victory over New England tied Indianapolis for the largest AFC championship win.
Coach Zac Stacy said that “it’s a special group that’s capable to doing special things.” He was an elementary school student when the Bengals last reached the Super Bowl. He said, “We’ve always stated that from the beginning, regardless of whether people believe us or not.” “We believed. We’re not surprised.
Los Angeles, which had lost six straight games to the 49ers, also triumphed over adversity. The 49ers could not stop All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp. Safety Jacquiski Tart also dropped an interception in the fourth quarter, which helped LA tie the game.
Not to be forgotten, the Bengals were defeated twice by the Cleveland Browns this year.
