The Buffalo Bills were staring at another loss after a rough first half on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals before surging back for the victory. Buffalo had a league-worst 25 straight losses when allowing 21+ first-half points, but managed to put that trend to bed.
It wasn’t easy, by any stretch. Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense overcame the elements, two critical interceptions, and a fruitless performance from Ja’Marr Chase to keep it close in the final moments. Buffalo had some key mistakes of their own, particularly on James Cook’s goalline fumble.
There were plenty of times in the contest where the Bills looked down and out.
