The Tennessee Titans have pulled off a major upset in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs

12 January 2020 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

The Titans have knocked off the AFC's top seeded Baltimore Ravens 28-12 on the road, to book their spot in next week's championship game where they'll face either the Kansas City Chiefs or Houston Texans.

They become just the seventh sixth seed in league history to beat a number one seed, and the first since 2011.

Meanwhile in the NFC, the San Fransisco 49ers have comfortably beaten the Minnesota Vikings 27-10 in their divisional match, and will host either the Green Bay Packers or Seattle Seahawks in the title game.
