Brandon Aiyuk definitely stepped up when the team needed him the most. He made many vital plays including that last one. Gg's Bengals.

As a niners fan, I literally went through the 7 stages of grief after we missed that kick to win. Jesus christ, what a game

“Kittle over the middle” always brings a smile to my face. Great games for Aiyuk, Bosa and Jimmy got us there twice

2 fumbled punts, a taunting penalty that gives the other team a touchdown, and a missed field goal. Hard to recover from all that.

Wow thanks for the heart attack 9ers! Glad we pulled through in OT, that missed field goal at the end drove me crazy! Way to go guys!

The People’s TE last 2 games: 9 catches 181 yards 2 TDs 13 catches 151 yards TD

To think this could've been a super bowl preview

Super Bowl LVI preview? 49ers vs Bengals III

The Bengals almost completed the comeback with Burrow and Chase, but give the 49ers some credit for the no quit attitude and mental toughness to weather the storm and come away victorious. Great game

George Kittle has been carrying this offense the last two weeks 🔥🏈

This game was a treat to see in person. The Bengals fans were awesome, and my Niners definitely made things interesting. It wouldn't be a Niners game without several heart attacks. Lol. Props to Jimmy G for being the leader this team needed when all seemed lost.

*LETS GET IT! REMATCH IN SUPERBOWL*

Crazy how that game really came full circle to the 49ers. They won the game with the same play they started the game with.

All thanks to Aiyuk at the end in OT game winner this game gave me a heart attack at the end😅 but man that was a great game a lot of respect to the Bengals. Let’s goo niners❤️💛

i’m a bengals fan and i went to the game omg the catch little made at the end of the game was the best catch i’ve ever seen

As a bengals fan, I’m beyond devastated. We literally beat ourselves. Those 2 punt reception fumbles were what cost us the game…. Burrow almost saved the day but it’s good ggs💪🏻

If you're a 49ers fan, be honest with yourself, you almost had a heart attack.

This was like one of the Super Bowls they played in.

As a lover of football and diehard 49ers fan, I have to say Joe Burrow is a super stud of a quarterback; he’s going to win a Super Bowl; he has the eye of the tiger no pun intended), and the tenacity to fight and win. The Bengals drafted the right guy, and I feel in a few years time, he’ll be the best player in the league; winning at least one MVP, if not more. Burrow is the real deal, and if Cincinnati keeps him past his rookie contract; the Bengals will be set for the next 15 years; and possibly an envy of the league type of team, a dynasty.

Good to see JG air it out, finally. This is a good game for him, he overcame adversity to help the team win.

What a game by both teams! George Kittle is a beast and Jimmy had an awesome drive in OT!

That kick returner was definitely returning… the ball to the other team!

This is the best version of the 49ers with our current available personnel. This felt like a playoff game. Bang Bang Niner Gang!

Aiyuk made one of the best plays of the year for sure, that TD was phenomenal. Great win

The relationship between me and the 49ers team is toxic afff can’t stand em at times but I love em so much

who would have thought this could be a super bowl preview

That catch from Kittle in the 4th was amazing. Definitely my favorite player

Preview of this year's Super Bowl.

Robby Gould gave me a heart attack with that missed kick.

Big win for the niners! Gotta stay healthy and get better. Still in the playoff hunt

I swear I thought the Bengals were going to take this after they tied it. It felt like they were getting all the momentum. Happy for the W though! Go Niners!

Is it really a Niners game without going into cardiac arrest at least twice? I’ll take the dub. Let’s go Faithful! 💪🏾💯

Brandon Aiyuk steeped up at the end when his players needed him

Brandon Aiyuk is awesome he played great today so many athletic catches. Kittle was the tight end i know him to be from 2019 great to see. Debbo great as usual . Well done niner gang whos next 👏 😉 😜 😄

Great game. Give credit to the Bengals for coming back and tying it up, and the Niners for making big plays at the end to close it out. Fun to watch, even as a Bengals fan

I love the 49ers and I'm so proud of them bouncing back it's been a rocky season but their back to playing Niner football

As a ravens fan. I honestly feel bad for the bengals. My team blew their chance, but San Fran helped us to keep the ravens in 1st in the afc north and keep their number 4 seed, the bengals had a missed opportunity and I hope they can bounce back and make it to their deserved playoff spot. Y’all got this 🧡🖤🧡🖤💜🖤💜🖤

Nick bosa needs to be in the defensive mvp conversation. 14.5 sacks coming off a torn acl.

SHOULDVE BEEN OVER IN THE FOURTH BUT WE STILL CAME OUT WIT THE WIN IN OT watching the niners is never not stressful

Don't forget -- the 49ers won without their rushing leader, Elijah Mitchell. I find it amazing how well Jimmy can play [ in spite of ] Shanahan's play-calling. They almost never throw to outside receivers...but they did so at least twice today. One was dropped by Kittle (defender was grabbing one of his arms). The other was caught by Jennings in OT. Good game overall for the 49ers for a couple reasons: 1) they won 2) they fought through some adversity, rallying after the Gould missed field goal before end of regulation and the Bengals' made field goal in OT. Shanahan literally pushed this team to the edge. It's almost unbelievable that they pulled it out.

Whenever these two teams play, it’s almost always a nail bitter. Arguably the best AFC team VS NFC team rivalry ever.

As a niners fan i wish this was the real outcome of superbowl 56 lol

Bengals have a true QB and WR for years to come. Respect! -49ERS fan

The Bengals, especially their special teams, played one of the rockiest games I ever seen and still kept up with the 49ers. The fans reaction to the missed field goal that led to overtime was chilling.

Tbh even though the Bengals haven't been great these past couple weeks, they have a bright future ahead of them. Land a good defensive player or linemen in the draft or free agency and they'll be amazing. Keep ur heads up Bengals fans! I'm rooting for yall

This was an exciting game that needed overtime. In the end, the Niners won it all thanks to Brandon Aiyuk.

POV: this is the Super Bowl matchup

Jimmy made the drive to get us the game winning fg that robbie missed. So he then answered back with a TD pass to aiyuk on a drag route, but the set up pass to kittle for the 1st was smooth. Jimmy had his game tonight. HE won the football game.

What a game and what a finish by the 49ers!!

The past 2 weeks the afternoon games have been insane!!

I went to this game, the energy was unmatched. It really all seemed like it was leading up to an epic comeback. Good game tho

GG Bengals. Your QB is a beast. This was a very great game on both sides 👏 👍🏽

Bosa, Kittle and Garoppolo are co- MVP's, but Key, Williams, Jennings and Aiyuk each made a big play too!

SB matchup preview!! Great game by both

As a Bengals fan, its heartbreaking. There goes our playoff hopes. Good game San Fransisco Kittle's, Daryus Phillips was a real MVP for you here.

I just want to see the Bengals in the playoffs! I was so high on Higgins and Chase this year, but at least they are performing.

Darius Phillips playin really well for the 49ers.

It’s games like these when Jimmy G almost wins the game for the 49ers (twice in todays game), his own team lets him down. Freaking Robbie Gould. But got to give him some love today, he was clutch! He and Kittle were beasts tonight. GG Bengals and Go 9ers!

Kittles is a beast n the best TE in NFL period.

My stomach started turning when the bengals tied it, offense has to put games away better, bengals got a bright future burrows is for real and there defense is solid. Great win and let's take care of the birds next sunday.

niners and bucs in ot win! what a day for the nfc teams!

What a great game! The 49ers went full Shanahan mode in the 4th quarter, but they still came out with the win. The AFC North is anyone’s for the taking.

With how good Nick Bosa and the 49ers D Line is I don't understand for the life of me how there is not 1 holding penalty all game on CIN

I'm a Niners fan, but Burrow is my favorite non-49er player. I'm glad the Bengals finally have a franchise QB after so many years of badness.

Boy it feels good finally winning a close one.

Damn how many times must I say his name?! J.J!!!! Jauan Jennings!!! Next man up I'm telling you! He'll be the x-factor come playoffs

And to think we almost saw a super bowl preview

Patriots and Niners snuck up on everybody with these win streaks.

Wild game. Both teams have big time playmakers in the skill positions & elite pass rushers. With Lamar likely out multiple weeks Cincinnati is still a threat to win the AFC North. & if SF gets healthy nobody is gonna want to play them in the wildcard.

It’s hard being a bengals fan ❤️‍🩹

So glad we drafted Aiyuk, works extraordinary in our system. Bengals played a helluva game all respect to them 💪🏼

This was the "Beat the 1 seed on a last second field goal and in the Conference Championship" Bowl.

The 49ers Special Teams had been one of the worst, I'm convinced they could be 9-4 if it wasn't for special teams issues. But today that unit stepped up with 2 turnovers which resulted in 10 points.

Coming here after the bengals won against the chiefs in the afc champ, bengals have not face the rams this season but if the rams lose the bengals will go against the niners which they have lost too this season, Who is gonna win the NFC championship? EDIT: Rams won by 3 points now, though Idek if the rams will win if they almost lost to the niners but let’s see.

Good job 49ers, grab the win and dip. And GG Bengals, y'all played one HELL of game against us.

This is an inconsistent, but still pretty good Bengals team. I'm glad the 9ers showed that they can fight through games and come out on top.

Definitely one of the most exciting games I’ve seen this year

What a great game. Wanted to the Bengals to win but good win 49ers.

Jimmy was actually throwing outside the numbers and was on target today. Gotta give Jimmy some credit too. He made plays at the end of the game to march us down the field. Great team effort. Go Niners!

Aiyuk’s progression makes me shiver with excitement at the thought of our offense once everyone’s healthy.

George Kittle is da best tight end in da league!!!!!

I feel like we choked this game away in the most painful way possible

Deebo having the same amount of receiving and rushing TDs is CrRrAzY!! I wonder why the ball was so slippery for both sides today?

We're finally above .500. That's a victory in itself.

Why is that we play our hearts and souls when we’re under pressure 😩

HEART ATTACK game ❤️

Aiyuk has star written all over him. I hope he keeps grinding to get better because it's showing. Kittle and Deebo are great playmakers to learn from too.

That was a real 'smash in the mouth' game. Credit to both sides just hanging in there and not giving up. Both QB played well too .

Thanks San Fran from sincerely a pittsburgh steelers fan.

Could this actually have been a super bowl preview..?

I've been critical of both, Shanahan and Garropolo at times this year. However, I saw the 9ers hang tough, perservere and play well in the most crucial moments. Got to give the coach and the QB credit here, they did their jobs.. Great win! Kittle, an amazing football player!!

One miraculous catch by Ayiuk. Congrats to San Francisco. Hell of of a game.

Thanks to Bengals special teams for giving us the game.

Both teams in the conference championships now!

Jauan Jennings an unsung hero today. Made a few TOUGH catches in some big spots.

Eli apple getting stuff armed at 9:23 made my day!🤣

As a raven fan.... C'Mon Bengals! What was that defense at the end!

Team gives me a heart attack every game. Niners defense loves to take naps in the 2nd half.

I'm a Cowboys fan but Deebo Samuels is the most electrifying guy in the NFL. Game Ova, in Ova time.

this should’ve been the super bowl
