The Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills have been two of the AFC’s most successful teams over the past two-plus seasons. They’ll be taking that rivalry under the prime-time lights of “Sunday Night Football” in Week 9.
The last time these two met in the regular season was last year during “Monday Night Football” when Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field. Hamlin was revived at a Cincinnati hospital and his inspirational story continues despite having been inactive for seven of the Bills’ eight games.
After a slow start, QB Joe Burrow has the Bengals (4-3) riding a three-game winning streak, the most recent victory being a dominant 31-17 win on the road against the San Francisco 49ers. Burrow has thrown eight touchdown passes with just two interceptions during the streak.
Meanwhile, the Bills (5-3) have gone 2-2 the past four weeks after starting the season by winning three of four. Buffalo shook off a 29-25 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 7 to narrowly knock off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 24-18, last week. QB Josh Allen, who has been nursing a sore shoulder, threw for 324 yards and two TDs and rushed for another score.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league after signing a five-year, $170 million extension.
