The Buffalo Bills wilted under the spotlight of a playoff game with immeasurable stakes, losing their redux of a highly anticipated showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals 27-10. The Bengals dominated the Bills from the get-go, and while the Bills clawed back some points to keep the game to a seven-point gap in the third quarter, they spent most of the afternoon playing like the younger brother who inevitably loses every single wrestling match in the house.
Joe Burrow was surgical early and avoided mistakes late. Joe Mixon ran for a 100 yards and a touchdown.
