Pro Bowl linebacker Vontaze Burfict was overwhelmed by all of it at the start of his first NFL playoff game. The Bengals (11-5) and the San Diego Chargers (9-7) will have a lot of young players in the playoff spotlight at Paul Brown Stadium. Rookie running back Giovani Bernard gave the Bengals a new dimension, piling up 1,209 yards on runs and catches, the second-most by a rookie in team history. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who missed most of his rookie season in 2012 because of injury, moved into a starting role late in the season because of injuries. Kirkpatrick had a pair of interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, during a 34-17 win over the Ravens last Sunday. Receiver Marvin Jones, a fifth-round pick from California in 2012, missed time during his rookie season because of a knee injury and developed into Cincinnati's No.
