The Buffalo Bills entered the 2023 season regarded as one of the favorites to represent the AFC in Super Bowl LVIII. However, recent subpar performances have raised questions about their legitimacy as title contenders.
Those questions grew louder after the Bills suffered a 24-18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football. The game wasn't as close as the final score suggested, as Buffalo spent much of the game trailing by multiple scores.
The play of star quarterback Josh Allen left much to be desired. While he threw a touchdown and two-point conversion to Stefon Diggs late in the fourth quarter to make it a one-possession game, he did not play like the MVP candidate many projected him to be.
