CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals showed a national TV audience on Sunday night they are still serious AFC playoff contenders.
The latest was a 24-18 victory over the Buffalo Bills in a rematch of a divisional playoff game from last season.
Joe Burrow threw for a season-high 348 yards and two touchdowns, and Cincinnati's defense forced two turnovers and held off the Bills.
The subsequent Bengals drive ate up 5:20 and a 20-yard field goal by Evan McPherson extended Cincinnati's lead to 24-10.
Aided by a roughing the passer call on the Bills' Tim Settle, Burrow put together another extended drive.
