The Bengals finally put a complete game together and ended a five-game losing streak during the team’s home finale. The win also keeps the Bengals from being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, for now. It was also Jeff Driskel’s first win as a starting quarterback in the NFL.
Here are some reactions from twitter after the Bengals’ win:
Final: #Bengals move to 6-8 with 30-16 win against the Raiders. Joe Mixon had a career high 27 carries for 129 yards and two touchdowns.

After a 1-7 slide, the Bengals are 1-0 in their last 1 games. What a turnaround. #BringMarvinBack #16MoreYears

“This will be the seventh straight home finale that the Bengals have won since Marvin Lewis has been here.”

I’m impressed it only took the Bengals coaching staff 13 games to realize they need to feed Mixon.

For those worried about the playoff race:
Titans won, by the way. #Bengals officially eliminated from wildcard race.

A Steelers win vs Patriots will eliminate them from the division race.
And for those worried about draft order:
Update: Only one of these happen AND the Bengals win. Top 10 is likely out of reach now. https://t.co/ylWiBfloWJ
