The Buffalo Bills were riding a wave of emotion heading into Sunday’s divisional-round matchup. And with some really cool snow hitting the city of Buffalo rather quite hard, we expected to see an instant classic unfold from the get-go.
Except that didn’t happen. Before the Bills could even get settled in, the Cincinnati Bengals landed haymaker after haymaker. By the time a struggling Buffalo could look up, it was 14-0 — after respective touchdowns from Ja’Marr Chase and Hayden Hurst –with a 9-0 advantage (!) in first downs for Cincinnati near the end of the first quarter.
