I literally could not believe the play happened. So often those types of plays are just tips or swat-downs. He just snagged it right out of the air. I think if he just knocks it down we lose for sure. That drive, like almost all other Bengal drives was looking mighty easy for them. It really just completely flipped the script. It was amazing.

 

I looked down for one second right before the snap and when I looked back up he was already halfway to the endzone. My jaw hit the floor.

Wonder what the win probability swing was on Cook's fumble...probably about 40 percent

Snow ball from burrow imo

 

Tried this weird underhand type shotput and looked like it slipped

One of the coolest plays all year for the Bills and absolute snag out of the air and to keep ahead of Chase for the score. So great

According to ESPN's win probability chart we went from 65.9% to 42.2% on that play.

Call him spider man.

I got so annoyed at this defense before that play that I flipped over to the Steelers/Ravens game. 
 

Refreshed the game thread and saw everyone going crazy.  
 

Im just as responsible for that play as Benford.

This defense was looking how they always look against Burrow- it’s maddening- they def changed the entire game with that pick and then with AJ on the next play- crazy how quick it turned it around- so so needed

I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. However, I'm really excited to see what this secondary looks like next year. If a few things happen-

 

Benford stays healthy all year

Bishop continues to ascend 

Hairston makes it through TC healthy and learning.

 

We have 3/4 of our defensive backfield covered for next year and depending on who is at that 2nd safety spot, it could be a elite secondary.

I feel like he was surprised with himself when he came down with it. Seemed like he was expecting to bat it down and just got his hands on it perfectly. He's on an all pro pace right now.

When you watch the All-22 this week, let me know if Chase is going to the house if Benford doesn't make that play.

With Milano late on a bad angle and no safety in the NFL being able to run down Chase, I think he was gone with nobody in the neighborhood but Bishop.

 

Here you go:

 

White and Poyer roll in his direction and Dorian Williams is heading his way too. Almost certainly a 1st but I'd like to think as a trio they'd be able to get him down.

[Buffalo716]

They should check that man's hands for stickum after!

 

When Joe was ready to throw that it really was slowing down for me cuz I saw him coming off hot and I was screaming get your hands up lol it is insanely difficult that he was able to catch that pass 

 

He was in the zone all day

Thank you; 'preciate.

I think that's Hancock and not White; he was in for Bishop while he was cramping.

And if Hancock doesn't at least force Chase inside he's gone, because neither Poyer nor Williams are getting over in time to cut off those wheels.

I do think Hancock would have got to his outside shoulder, but betting on rookies is a sucker's game.

You're correct I thought the jersey showed 27 not 37. Hancock being there instead of White gives me more confidence they would have tackled him before he broke a house call.

The catch was so clean. Couldn't believe my eyes.
