The NFL 2014 Wild Card Playoffs continue on Sunday as the San Diego Chargers take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
There were two dramatic games on the first day of the Playoffs on Saturday as both the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints won against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles by two points or less – the first time in NFL history two NFL postseason games have finished so close on the same day.
Many will be hoping for further drama on Sunday, and this Chargers vs Bengals match up promises to be a close one.
The game will start at 1.05 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on the CBS network. Alternatively the game will be available to watch online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.
These two teams met in Week 13 of the regular season, and in that game the Chargers lost 17-10. The core problem incurred by the Chargers was turnovers – they committed three on that day, and they will want to keep things much tighter today and not give away possession so cheaply.
The Bengals have been masterful at creating turnovers, and are ranked 7<sup>th in the NFL at forcing opposition teams into giving turnovers. They have forced 33 turnovers in total, with 20 interceptions and 13 fumbles created by Cincinnati pressure.
The Chargers on the whole did reasonably well at keeping the ball, but they had no answer to the pressure the Bengals applied in Week 13. They will have to have a much better answer to that pressure today if they are to win this game.
Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt has said that the team like their chances if they don't give away the ball as cheaply as last time round: "Turnovers are really what hurt us. We had opportunities to get in the red zone and to try and score points, but we had turnovers at critical times. When you are playing a good team like that, those are things you can't do."
