What to Watch For in Saturday’s N.F.L. Playoff Games

The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots will visit the Buffalo Bills.

The four teams headlining Saturday’s N.F.L. wild-card doubleheader know each other well.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals met in November amid a three-game skid for the Raiders. The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills, two A.F.C. East rivals, met twice in the regular season, splitting those games 1-1 with each team winning on its opponent’s home field.

A rematch and the final game in this season’s trilogy awaits. Here’s a look at the matchups that will kick off the first week of the 2022 N.F.L. playoffs.
