Fresh off of statement win over the New England Patriots, the Cincinnati Bengals are hitting the road to face the Buffalo Bills this week. Having not won a road game this year (0-2), the Bengals will look to avoid a third-straight let down game while playing away from Paul Brown Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Bills have shown a surprising amount of promise in their first five games, having had a chance to tie or win the game in the final minutes of each loss.In what looks to be a wide-open AFC outside of the Denver Broncos, these could very well be two teams fighting for playoff spots.Despite some tough losses, with a win vs Cincinnati this week, Buffalo will be tied with them at 3-3 with a head-to-head win, which could be crucial late in the year if both teams are in the Wild Card hunt.
