Monday night's seismic clash between the Bills and the Bengals is rife with playoff implications. 'It’s a mini Super Bowl.' It's the most consequential duel between the franchises since the 1988 AFC championship game, 34 years ago.
Esiason to NFL Films:
Jim Kelly threw interceptions on the Bills’ first and third series. The second gave Cincinnati possession at Buffalo’s 4-yard line to set up a Woods touchdown run. On the ensuing drive, Kelly bounced back with a touchdown pass to Reed that tied the score.We thought we could fool Jim Kelly. For any quarterback, if the defense knows what you’re doing and they can read your mail? Forget about it.
Bills kicker Scott Norwood missed a 43-yard field goal attempt, and Esiason capped an 11-play, 74-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Brooks off of play-action, putting the Bengals up 14-7 with 2:21 left in the second quarter. Norwood made a 39-yard field goal in the closing seconds to make the score 14-10 at halftimeJames Brooks was amazing. He was a smaller back that could run over you, run around you and run all day long. He trained like nobody else.
Buffalo’s frustrations boiled over at the end of the quarter. Cincinnati converted a fake punt, and cornerback Derrick Burroughs was ejected for throwing a forearm into receiver Tim McGee’s facemask during a run play.
