An inside look at Sunday’s Bills-Bengals AFC divisional round matchup in Buffalo:
Bills secondary vs. Bengals receivers
The Bills secondary is young and dealing with injuries. That will be a potential issue with Bengals QB Joe Burrow slinging it to WRs Ja’Marr Chase, who caught 87 passes for 1,046 yards and nine TDs despite missing four games this season, and Tee Higgins (74-1,029, seven TDs).
The Bills’ top CB, Tre’Davious White, has been eased back into action after missing a year because of a knee injury and has appeared in just seven games. CB Dane Jackson’s status is uncertain after he hurt his knee last week, leaving the possibility of rookie Kaiir Elam taking over. Starting safety Jordan Poyer has been playing through a series of injuries. And, the Bills are down to their third safety opposite Poyer, with Micah Hyde (neck) not ready to return and Damar Hamlin on IR.
This will be another emotionally charged atmosphere with the potential of Damar Hamlin being at a game for the Bills for the first time since his cardiac arrest three weeks ago at Cincinnati. Allen will curb his turnover issue and be just a little bit more dangerous than Burrow.
