Bengals vs. Raiders injury report and starting lineup - November 21 | NFL Week 11

Modified Nov 08, 2022 11:49 GMT

The Cincinnati Bengals take on the Las Vegas Raiders, with both teams hoping to improve on their existing 5-4 records.

The Bengals were being hailed as the favorites for the AFC championship after defeating the Baltimore Ravens, but have since lost two games on the trot to put them under real pressure to right the ship. While they might consider themselves unlucky to lose to the New York Jets due to a late call for a helmet-to-helmet hit that never was, they were comprehensively outplayed by the Cleveland Browns the following week. The Bengals will be hoping that the bye week has given them enough impetus to recharge their batteries.

The Las Vegas Raiders have contended with problems of their own throughout the season. They lost their coach midway through when Jon Gruden had to resign because of appallingly bigoted emails. They have had to cut Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnette due to off-field controversies and yet are somehow coming into this game still in with a shout. Much like the Bengals, the Raiders have also lost their last two matches, and both let in an identical 41 points in their last match.

We look at those who will be held responsible for turning the tide for either the team or those players who might not feature.
