The 2022 NFL playoffs kick off with Super Wild Card Weekend, and the first game of the slate is Las Vegas Raiders taking on the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday at 4:30pm ET.
Derek Carr and the Raiders are coming off a thrilling 35-32 Sunday Night Football OT win against the Los Angeles Chargers. The quarterback is poised to make his first career playoff start, but isn’t concerned with celebrating the milestone. “I just have this weird feeling in my heart like the job is not done,” Carr told reporters postgame. “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.”
Meanwhile, Joe Burrow and the Bengals look to keep the momentum rolling with young powerhouses Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The Bengals clinched the AFC North for the first time since 2015 in a Week 17 win against the Chiefs, so they rested key starters last week. However, Burrow has made it clear they’ll be ready to go.
The Bengals defeated the Raiders back in Week 11 with a statement 32-13 victory, but who will win when it matters most? Keep reading to find out which TV and live streaming options are available to watch the first game of Super Wild Card Weekend.
The 2022 NFL playoffs begin with a battle between the Cincinnati Bengals and Las Vegas Raiders!
After an up and down season, Joe Burrow and the Bengals won three of their last four to capture the AFC North title. On the other side of the field, Las Vegas has to be considered one of the hottest teams in the NFL. The Raiders have won four straight, including a Week 18 Sunday Night Football thriller to eliminate the Chargers from postseason consideration, on their way to a 10-7 record. Cincinnati was 5-4 at home during the regular season, while Las Vegas was 5-3 on the road. This one could truly go either way.
