The 2022 NFL Playoffs kick off this Saturday with a doubleheader in the AFC. This conference was tight to the very finish, with a near tie on Sunday Night Football impacting who was in and who was out.
The team that robbed us of that reality was the Las Vegas Raiders, who pulled out a win and stamped their ticket to the postseason with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders aren’t considered a contender by much, but their first round matchup is against a Cincinnati Bengals team that hasn’t won a playoff game since 1991—a current NFL record.
