The Bengals kicked field goals on their next two drives before scoring another touchdown with two minutes left in the half. The play stood even though there was an erroneous whistle.
Carr and Co. then went 80 yards on 11 plays to score their first touchdown of the day with 13 seconds left in the half.
If the Bengals hang on, they will win their first playoff game in 31 years. If the Raiders pull off the comeback, it will be their first playoff victory in 20 years.
