This NFL year, like I say, has been a very interesting and crazy season. But, this year will get even more interesting and crazy as we head into this crazy playoff mania. So, let's talk about the game. The Bengals came into the game having a very high percentage of winning the game, according to ESPN and me. At half time the score was only 20-13, Bengals on top. The Bengals got to receive the opening 2nd half kick off. The Bengals were able to drive down the field and score. Let's just say that the Raiders did not have their best game, but the Bengals didn't either and they were still able to muscle their way for the win. This is the Bengals first playoff win since January, 1991 (30 years). Derek Carr threw for 29/54 for 310 yards, 1 touchdown, and only 1 interception. On the other side, Joe Burrow threw for 24/34 for 244 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. Honestly, I think that the weather was a big factor in this game. It is freezing cold up in the North and there is very harsh wind. The Raiders had about 7 minutes left in the third quarter, they were able to drive down the field but only come down with 3. They kicked it off to Cincinnati, and their drive started at around the 25 yard line. The Bengals got the ball and did nothing, in fact, they even lost a yard. The Raiders were able to get the ball back and drive down to the field to where they had a 4th and goal at around the 9 yard line. Derek Carr received the snap and immediately got rid of it. His throw was short and intercepted by the Bengals and allowed Cincinnati to win the ball game. I think the Las Vegas raiders would've been much better if they didn't lose Henry Rugs III or Jon Gruden due to stupid mistakes. We have still more games to come and the Bengals are looking to go all the way.
