The Bengals and Bills have one half of their playoffs in the books. Through two periods, Cincinnati has dominated the game in Buffalo’s fifth thanks to the attacks that start from the gate.
Joe Burrow led back-to-back touchdown drives to start the game, while the Bengals defense held the Bills offense to three consecutive three-and-out drives that gave Zac Taylor’s team a 14-point lead late in the first quarter. Josh Allen and company were able to get into the third game of the day when the quarterback completed 13 games with a touchdown. However, Cincinnati responded and drove down the field to kick a field goal to extend their lead to double digits before halftime.
The winner of this matchup will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, but the location of the game will be determined by the results of the head-to-head. If the Bengals leave, the game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium. However, if the Bills win, the conference title game will be played at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
