Not a good start for the Bengals, as safety Shawn Williams was knocked out of the game.
Williams actually exited the game briefly in the first quarter, as was helping escort Bills wide receiver John Brown out of bounds along the sideline. After the two players reached the sideline, it appeared Williams held onto Brown to keep him from falling, and Brown took exception to that with a shove back. Williams instantly went to the ground, which makes you think the hit was near the neck area or it knocked the wind out of him.
