hit the road for their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5) — a game that could play a big role in how the rest of the season shapes out for both teams. The Bills enter play at 5-3, but in the midst of some adversity on both offense and defense. While their Week 8 performance showed a renewed spark on offense — and a return to 11-personnel groupings — an inability to score points in the second half cast a cloud over the victory. For the third game in a row, Buffalo’s defense was forced to end the game defending their own end zone at the goal line.
