The time is 11:24 PM.
The Las Vegas Raiders are headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 after a season filled with an unusual amount of distraction and adversity.
The Raiders secured a wild-card spot with a 35-32 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium.
The Raiders will travel to face Cincinnati at 4:30 p.m. next Saturday. The time is later. The Raiders were beaten by the Bengals in Las Vegas.
After the teams traded field goals to start the extra period, Daniel Carlson kicked a field goal with no time on the clock. It was the sixth walk-off win of the season for the Raiders, the most since the 1970 merger.
The game was tied at 17 in the fourth quarter, but the Chargers scored 15 points in the final 4:28 of the game, including a game-tying touchdown with no time left on the clock.
The Raiders dealt with a lot of distraction throughout the season, from Jon Gruden's resignation to the death of Henry Rugg to the release of Damon Arnette after making death threats in a video.
After a bye week, Las Vegas lost five of six games, but rebounded to win four straight games to finish the regular season and advance to the playoffs.
Carr, a second-round pick in the last year of the draft, set a new single-season passing standard Sunday night and will play in his first career playoff game. He broke his leg in the last game of the 2016 season when the Raiders were in Oakland. The Raiders lost to the Houston Texans 27-14 in the playoffs.
Ryan Fitzpatrick and Archie Manning had the most regular-season starts at quarterback without a playoff start in the Super Bowl era.
