By The Numbers: Bengals Post Historic Wild Card Victory At Paycor Stadium

Cincinnati set a few records on Sunday night.

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals are onto the 2023 NFL Divisional round after a crazy 24-17 win over Baltimore

Sam Hubbard's 98-yard fumble-return touchdown cemented the win and a bevy of impressive marks for the team.

Check out some of the interesting numbers below:

  • The Bengals became the first team in franchise history to win playoff games in back-to-back seasons.
  • Zac Taylor is 4-1 in the playoffs for a .800 win percentage, tying Baltimore’s Don McCafferty for the NFL’s best postseason winning percentage since the 1970 merger.
  • Joe Burrow: Four playoff wins, Rest of 2020 NFL Draft QBs: Zero.
  • Zac Taylor has won more playoff games in the last two seasons than Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has in the last 12 seasons.
  • According to NextGen Stats, Sam Hubbard reached a top speed of 17.43 mph, the third-fastest speed by a defensive lineman as a ball carrier this season. Mark Andrews reached the fastest speed of his career chasing down Hubbard — 20.72 mph — but could not make the tackle in pursuit.
  • According to NextGen Stats, Sam Hubbard traveled 123.6 yards on his 98-yard fumble return TD, the most distance traveled by a ball carrier on a TD this season. The win probability increased by 42% as a result of the play (from 46% → 88%).
  • According to ESPN, There were a total of 7 offensive possessions in the first half of Bengals-Ravens, the tied for fewest in a playoff game since 2000.
  • According to ESPN, Ja'Marr Chase had 5 catches on his TD drive, his most on a single drive in his career. He's the first player since James White (2018 Divisional vs Chargers) with 5 receptions on a playoff drive and the first wide receiver to do it since Demaryius Thomas in Super Bowl XLVIII.
  • According to ESPN, Joe Burrow is the third Bengals player with a pass and rush TD in a playoff game, joining Boomer Esiason (1990 Wild Card vs the Oilers) and Ken Anderson (Super Bowl XVI vs the 49ers).
  • Ja'Marr Chase posted his first career game with 6-plus catches in a half.
