Two wins out of two have taken the Buffalo Bills to second place in the AFC East, level on wins with the New England Patriots. It's a welcome good start to the new season and a win over Cincinnati Bengals will make it three wins, that'd be half of what they achieved in last year's 6-10 season. They started the new season with a 17-16 win at the New York Jets. That wasn't a win that looked likely going into the final quarter when trailing 16-3 but an excellent final quarter performance gave the Bills an opening weekend victory. They followed that up with a 28-14 win at the New York Giants highiighted by a 14-0 win in the second quarter. They now play their first home game of the season and will look to make it 3-0, something they haven't done since 2011.

The Cincinnati Bengals are still waiting for their first win of the new NFL season. They are 0-2 and third in the AFC North behind the Baltimore Ravens (2-0) and Cleveland Browns (1-1). The Bengals also had a 6-10 record last season and won't want to go 0-3 down for this new one. Their season began with a 21-20 defeat away at the Seattle Seahawks. They led going into the final quarter but their three point lead evaporated in the final one losing that 7-3 and going down by a point. It wasn't so close last weekend though as they were beaten 41-17 at home to the San Francisco 49ers. They were always down in that match, only the final quarter was level but it was all too late by then. Go for the Bills to make it 3-0 for the season with a win over the Bengals.
