SI offers a breakdown of Jackie Slater Jersey each first-round postseason matchup, including, of course San Francisco at Dallas ...The Raiders won four straight to close the year; sources tell us if they somehow beat the Bengals here, interim coach Rich Bisaccia (the former Dallas a sistant) might just keep the job. The challenge? The Joe Burrow-led Bengals (back in the playoffs for the first time since 2015) just pounded the Chiefs, and on the road in Week 11 pounded these same Raiders, 32-13. The Bengals are and the smart pick.It's been more than 50 years since these AFC East rivals have met in the postseason, but Jalen Ramsey Jersey of course they play each other twice a year otherwise - and fittingly, this year, they split the season series. The Patriots are about coach Bill Belichick. The Bills, who won the division, are about a talent-laded roster led by QB Josh Allen.
