On the flipside, Joe Burrow and his offense found their rhythm instantly after the kickoff. The Bengals scored two touchdowns in the first quarter itself to squeeze the hosts a little. The stakes of the game already shot through the roof when Bills safety Damar Hamlin walked in to support his team.
Damar Hamlin in the house
For the first time since that fateful day in Cincinnati, Damar Hamlin joined his teammates at the Highmark Stadium for a game. He came in to support the Bills in the crucial playoff game against the same opponents from week 17. Just in case Josh Allen needed that extra ounce of motivation.
