Buffalo Bills Playoffs: 3 things that can’t happen vs. Bengals
By Ryan Heckman
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen cannot afford another three turnovers
The Bills finished the regular season with a top-10 offense and a top-10 defense. They are as complete a team as you can find around the league. But, Cincinnati also finished as the no. 7 offense in the regular season, averaging 26.0 points per game. The
Bengals finished their season on an 8-game winning streak and put up nearly 30 points per game during that stretch. This is not a Skylar Thompson-led Dolphins squad. This is the reigning AFC Champions, we’re talking about.
If Josh Allen picks up where he left off against Miami, the Bills will be in trouble. Two of his three turnovers were absolutely preventable, and you could argue were squarely on him. The first of his interceptions and the fumble could have been avoided.
Those turnovers, though, were what allowed Miami to get back in the game. If that Dolphins offense, led by a rookie late-round quarterback, can come back and take a lead, what do you think the Bengals could do if they are gifted multiple takeaways from Allen?
