The Raiders have had quite a few off the field issues this season, while the Bengals clinched their first title in a while. Whatever way you cut it, the NFL playoffs have arrived.
The Raiders keep on going
After a dramatic late win against the Los Angeles Chargers during Sunday Night Football, the Raiders had to wait for a last gasp field goal, in order to emerge victorious in what was an exciting 35-32 victory over the Chargers. With that, it now seems that QB Derek Carr is set to make his first start in a playoff game. “I just have this weird feeling in my heart like the job is not done, like my favorite player Kobe [Bryant] said, ‘Job is not done.’ It does feel good, it’s exciting, but I don’t set out to just make the playoffs, although it’s been since 2016 and I didn’t even get to play. It feels cool.”
