A last-second interception secured the Bengals’ first playoff win since the 1990 season. A late push by the Raiders to take the game to overtime came to nothing, as Burrow and the Bengals moved on to the divisional round.
He finished 24 of 34 passing for 244 yards and two first-half touchdowns to CJ Uzomah and Tyler Boyd and maintained control over the game for the majority of the period.

“The fans were very excited,” Burrow said, via Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. “I tried to downplay it and all that because this is how it’s going to be from here on out. This is a great win for us but this is the standard for the bare minimum every year going forward.”
