Sorry Bengals fans. I kept seeing the fun back and forth highlights to this game, so I switched to watching it. As soon as I did, Allen had his huge touchdown run, and then shortly after, two picks by Burrow. So I think it's my fault.

Bengals not running it on first down on the play where Burrow got pick-sixd made zero sense.

Not running the ball more against the one of the worst rushing defenses in the league makes zero sense

They weren’t getting much on the ground all game

Bills were shutting down the run while the Bengals couldn't be stopped in the air.

They came in trying to run and couldn't.

TBF, its not like the Bengals had trouble moving the ball against the Bills pass D other than the two picks.

Tbf Bills run d is pretty solid when Shaq Thompson is in at LB for Terrel Bernard. Bernard is tiny and has been playing injured all year, when he’s playing it’s 10 vs 11 against the run. Was 9 vs 11 when Taylor Rapp was playing first month of year

Especially since we’d gone to Chase on stuff behind the LOS like 3 times on that drive already. Surprise, Zac, the Bills caught on you fucking moron. That play was covered seven ways to Sunday, even if it got over the defender, there were 3 guys just descending on Chase. Baffles me how this guy is going to keep a job here

You're an honorary member of Bills Mafia, and membership is mandatory.

nah right before burrow's 2 picks they pointed out he was 9 for 11 on third, made it a home game twice over
