How to watch the Bengals host the Raiders on Sunday.
In order to make the NFL Playoffs, the Cincinnati Bengals will likely need to find a way to 10 wins to hope for a Wild Card spot. That starts with the Las Vegas Raiders coming to town this Sunday in what’s easily the most winnable game left on Cincinnati’s schedule.
The Raiders have been struggling most of the year, and there seems to be more discussion on who else they could trade after sending Devante Adams to the New York Jets than ways they can find success this year.
To be fair, the Bengals haven’t fared much better. Last week, they imploded in the fourth quarter and were blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles at home. When the defense struggles, the entire team seems to fall off the rails.
It is still unacceptable that this offense has only scored 17 points with Joe Burrow’s play. The running game has been nonexistent, and no other receiver steps up when Tee Higgins is out. Let’s hope that changes in a big way this week against Vegas.
