The Bengals are the new kings of the AFC North, and maybe even the AFC

This was supposed to be the Buffalos Bills' year.

After losing to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game following the 2020 campaign, and again to that same team a year later in the divisional round (and in the most heartbreaking way possible), 2022 was going to be the season that Buffalo reigned supreme in the AFC.

And perhaps for the first time in franchise history, 2022 looked to be the year the Bills would reign as kings of the entire NFL with everyone bowing down to their first Lombardi Trophy and kissing their Super Bowl rings.
