Bengals shut down Josh Allen, Bills to set up AFC title game rematch with Chiefs

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Cincinnati Bengals are headed back to the AFC championship game.

The defending conference champions showed why they might be the best team in the AFC for the second straight year, defeating the Buffalo Bills 27-10 in the divisional round to set up another title tilt against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sunday's game in Buffalo was Cincinnati's most commanding playoff performance over the past two years, including its run to the Super Bowl last season. It was a further indicator that this year's Cincinnati team is better than the one that fell 23-20 to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI last February.
