In fact, the Bengals punted just once in three quarters. The script was flipped this time around, as Burrow carried the offense with 244 passing yards and two touchdowns while Mixon rushed for just 48 yards on 17 carries. In their first meeting back in November, Joe Mixon rushed 30 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns while Burrow recorded season-lows in passing yards (148) and yards per attempt (5.1) in the 19-point win. There were many more penalty flags thrown (14) than highlight-reel plays, but the Bengals' offense couldn't be stopped. The start to Super Wild Card Weekend wasn't the cleanest. Let's take a look at what went down in Cincinnati Saturday night. The Bengals will now wait to see who they face in the next round of the playoffs. Josh Jacobs had a great performance in the losing effort, as he rushed 13 times for 83 yards, and caught four passes for 44 yards. Carr completed 29 of 54 passes for 310 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Raiders offense struggled to finish off drives against the Bengals, and they got into the end zone just once. Uzomah had a day as well, as he caught six passes for 64 yards and a touchdown. The rookie became the fourth different Bengals receiver with a 100-yard game in the postseason, and the first since Marvin Jones in 2014. His favorite target was his college teammate in Ja'Marr Chase, who caught nine of 12 targets for 116 yards. He made several impressive throws that kept drives alive and remained in control all evening. Carr got the Raiders down to the Bengals' nine-yard line, but threw an interception to Germaine Pratt on fourth-and-goal.īurrow completed 24 of 34 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns. The defense then forced a three-and-out, and gave the Raiders back the ball with 1:51 left down a touchdown. Down 10 points halfway through the fourth quarter, Derek Carr led Vegas on a 67-yard, 12-play drive that ended in a Daniel Carlson field goal to make it a seven-point game. The Raiders did their best to mount a comeback in the late stages of this one. The Raiders overcame an incredible amount of adversity this season to make the playoffs with an interim head coach, but couldn't force overtime despite having the ball in the red zone with under a minute left. On Saturday, the Cincinnati Bengals recorded their first playoff victory in 31 years, as they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders, 26-19.
