The Raiders will have the ball on the 19-yard line and third down and goal when we return for the final 15 minutes of this game.

The officiating crew are getting a workout tonight throwing a load of flags on the field - this time it's the Raiders again and more holding that negates a muscular Josh Jacobs run right down to the one-yard line.

It makes it second and goal but back from the 19-yard line.

The zebras have had a tough game with some so-so calls but these last few have been on the money.

Now it's the Bengals who shoot themselves in the foot with a huge pass interference call on them on a throw that looked unlikely to find a man.

The flag converts the fourth down for Vegas who are now into the red zone.

Josh Jacobs is all over the play calls here in both the run and passing game, and after YET another penalty the Raiders are faced with a fourth-and-three.

They're lining up to go for it as yet another Bengal is down injured.

Derek Carr completes a huge pass to DeSean Jackson, but it's coming back for some holding by the offensive line.

Penalties have just been crippling the Raiders today. Turnovers and penalties are just complete no-nos if you want to progress in the play-offs.

This week's NFL Show is available to watch at your leisure on BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button and online.

But if you're a traditionalist and like to watch these things as they play out on the telebox, this is just a reminder that it's starting over on BBC One right now.

Of course you'll be staying acoss this game too, won't you? Everyone double screens these days...

Maxx Crosby gets his man as he drops Burrow. A second sack on Burrow of the game means it's a first punt of the day for the Bengals.

Hunter Renfrow looks to have taken a nice catch before getting the ball punched out of his grasp and out of bounds - which would still be a Raiders first down.

Cincinnati challenge the ruling and it's eventually reversed, with Renfrow not doing enough with the ball to call it a catch.

What is and what isn't a catch in the NFL remains one of the more cloudy issues...

Anyway, Raiders punt it away and Joe Burrow gets it back.

Las Vegas Raiders 13-23 Cincinnati Bengals

That penalty may have saved four points for Vegas, as the Bengals have to settle for a 43-yard field goal from Evan McPherson.

Had that Chase completion stood, or the penalty for 12 men on the field, the Raiders would have been in deep trouble.

Really smart heads-up play by Raiders cornerback Casey Hayward, who calls a timeout when he notices his team has 12 men on the field, and it turns out to be huge for them as Ja'Marr Chase caught a deep pass for the Bengals to get inside the 10-yard line.

The Bengals' Joe Burrow had the better of the first half but that 80-yard touchdown drive by the Raiders right before the interval means there's not much between his and Derek Carr's stats for the half.

CJ Uzomah catches a pass over the middle as the Bengals make progress over the Raiders' 40-yard lines.

Ja'Marr Chase then gets them inside the 30 as it looks like more Bengals points coming, Zac Taylor will want seven rather then three.

Right, here we go. Crunch time for these two with just 30 minutes of football between them and a play-off win.

That late TD for the Raiders kept them in the game, with the Bengals getting the ball first in the second half, but Cincy have a strong record this season when leading at half time.

They’re 8-1 this season with a half-time lead. Somehow, their one loss was against the Jets!

The coldest play-off game in Buffalo since 1994 is just a couple of hours away.

Our very own BBC weather app says it will be a brisk -16C at kick-off, with wind chill making it feel more like a frankly silly -22C.

There's no snow in the forecast, but the bitter cold alone is sure to have an impact on proceedings. Definitely one to sort the men from the boys...

Jason Bell
Former NFL cornerback

My first choice is also Mike Vrabel but my number two is Mike Tomlin. for what he's been able to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Just look at the guy, he's never had a losing season. He now has a quarterback who's a shell of himself (Ben Roethlisberger) but he finds a way to get the guys going.

The Tennessee Titans are the number one seed in the AFC, they went 12-5. They lost their best player and were still able to win that many games, beating some really good teams along the way. For me, the way Mike Vrabel has galvanised that team, the way their culture is, the way they play and prepare, I really enjoy watching them.

Osi's going for Mike Vrabel after his Tennessee Titans finished the season strongly despite being without their star running back Derrick Henry, while Jason says Mike Tomlin for dragging the Pittsburgh Steelers into the play-offs with a 9-7 record.

The Raiders have made a habit of scoring right at the death this season and that 80-yard touchdown drive keeps them very much in this one. It's game on in Cincinnati!

So, that Bengals touchdown... the replays show a whistle was blown after Joe Burrow threw the pass and BEFORE Tyler Boyd caught it, as the official thought the quarterback had stepped out of bounds.

He hadn't, but a TV analyst has just said they should have replayed the down as it was an erroneous whistle, not just let the touchdown stand.
