Few matchups generate the hype levels of the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills facing off lately.
The two parties, headed up by Joe Burrow and Josh Allen, tend to put on great, offensive-minded games as would-be Super Bowl contenders in the AFC and that was true enough during Sunday night’s primetime showdown, too.
There, Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense took a 21-7 lead into halftime en route to a 24-18 final.
Here’s a look at the best instant reactions from fans and media alike coming out of the game before the Bengals start to think about playing Houston next weekend.
AND WE WILL SAY IT AGAIN!

FINAL: #Bengals 24, Bills 18
Cincinnati's fast start carries the day. Again.
Pulling off a three-game sweep of Seattle, SF, Buffalo in convincing fashion establishes this team as all they were hyped to be.
Eyes on are that trip to Baltimore in 10 days. Houston next.

I know it’s only the second week of Burrow at 100% health, but…
I have concerns with being able to put teams away on offense. This shouldn’t have been a sweat.

Mixon gets the first down as the Bengals take it out of Burrow's hands on 3rd and 3.
Bengals can kneel it out.
Should NOT have been this close. Left a whole lotta points out there.
Bills are good tho.

That sweet tiebreaker over the Bills too 💯

Impressive to see the Bengals close it out with the run when Buffalo knew what they wanted to do. Massive win for the Bengals in a primetime spot.
Sinking the Bills for their first AFC win of the year is massive.
Not to mention, Burrow was absolutely spectacular.

Bengals' first conference win is a big one over Buffalo. Potential big PO implications with this one of course.
— Andre Perrotta (@andreperrotta13) November 6, 2023
The Bengals beat the Bills, 24-18.
The Bengals left several opportunities on the table and didn't play a clean game. They still were in full control for the entire game against another Super Bowl contender.

Sunday Night streak snapped: For the first time since 2004, Cincinnati has won a SNF game.
10 straight SNF losses ahead of tonight.

The Bengals take care of business against the Texans next week and we’ll be in a terrific spot with respect to a postseason berth.

Joe Mixon is so good.

Gonna need more Tanner Hudson going forward. Nice to see Tee.
Would like more Boyd he’s so clutch. Also I liked Yoshi’s little 9 yard gain on the boot or rollout.

During the bye week I was just thinking how they needed to win one of the next two.
Then the Bengals went out and dismantled two very tough teams. This team is back.
