One ex-Razorback’s NFL season stays alive with a last-second field goal.
Former Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen and the Cincinnati Bengals advance to the AFC Divisional Round by knocking off the Tennessee Titans, 19-16, on a chilly Saturday afternoon in Nashville, Tenn.
One week after winning their first playoff game since 1990, the Bengals earned another win thanks in part to a 52-yard field goal at the buzzer by rookie kicker Evan McPherson, which was the most important of his four made field goals of the game.
Although not appearing in the game, Allen is a part of one of the most special Bengals teams in recent memory. Saturday’s win over the Titans marks the first time that the Bengals have won at least two playoff games since 1988.
Allen has completed 107 passes for 1,074 yards and seven touchdowns in two seasons with the Bengals, playing in 11 total games. In his five-year career, Allen has seen the most field time with Cincinnati. Allen appeared in only three games with the Denver Broncos in 2019, and in zero games between 2016-2018 with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Rams.
