‘Cincinnati’s defense will be a tougher challenge. The Bengals rank seventh against the run, and 21st in passing yards allowed. Cincinnati is eighth in points allowed at 20.4 per game. Cincinnati likes to defend elite quarterbacks by dropping people into coverage. The Bengals stymied Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship game in January by consistently dropping eight men into coverage during the second half and overtime.’
Report Card: Straight A's for the defense in Bills' win over Bears
‘Allen threw two more interceptions and is now tied for the NFL lead in that category. In some instances, Allen’s decision making was just as troubling. Throwing to Isaiah McKenzie unless he’s wide open is a mistake, and Allen forced it in that direction twice. One of those passes was intercepted. After his touchdown catch, Davis appeared to be rather disinterested in the rest of the game.’

Buffalo Bills play next Monday night. What to know about game of the year
‘It means essentially everything to both teams. If the Bills win, all they would have to do to secure the top seed in the AFC bracket and a first-round bye would be to defeat the fading Patriots in Week 18 at Highmark Stadium. But if the Bills lose, they no longer control their own destiny. They would need both the Chiefs (assuming KC beats lowly Denver in Week 17) and the Bengals to lose their last games in order to get the top spot.’
