The Cincinnati Bengals are going to their first AFC Championship Game since the 1988 postseason.
Evan McPherson kicked a 52-yard field goal on Saturday to give the Bengals a 19-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans in an AFC Divisional Round playoff game.

How long has it been since the Bengals reached the AFC Championship Game?
The last time they did, their first postseason game was against the AFC West champions: the Seattle Seahawks.
That is how long it has been.
