The Buffalo Bills dropped a huge game to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9, losing 24-18 in a game that never felt that close in reality as it was on the scoreboard. And yet, as crazy as it sounds, the Bills had plenty of chances to leave Paycor Stadium with a win. Instead, they left with more of the same questions that have plagued this group for the duration of the 2023 season.
Along the way, we watched another frustrating showing from Buffalo in all three phases of the game, really. The offense was bad, the defense wasn’t good enough in spite of the fight they showed in playing shorthanded, and the special teams put them in bad spots all night long.
