Lamar’s performances were pretty bad in the last two appearances, as he had just one TD pass and two interceptions. Baltimore’s run game was excellent, with them posting 217 rushing yards against the Steelers, yet that didn’t help.
As for the Bengals, they allowed 21 points in four minutes of the last quarter against the Bills on the road. They wasted an excellent opportunity to win, as this team controlled the pace and rhythm all the way to the final moments of the event. Eventually, it was 39-34 for the Bills.
Joe Burrow’s gunslinging approach didn’t pay off here, even though he had 284 passing yards for four touchdowns. He posted two intercepted passes, one of them a pick-six, which gave Buffalo the win.
