ANNOUNCER: CBS SPORTS WELCOMES YOU TO THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. >> MOTIVATION, IT DRIVES US AS HUMAN BEINGS. IT EXISTS FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS. BUT WHAT IS IT THAT MOTIVATES THESE MEN? DOES IT COME FROM THEIR FRANCHISEE TROUBLED PAST. THE BENGALS. >> IT IS NO GOOD. HE MISSED IT TO THE RIGHT. ANNOUNCER: OR DOES IT COME FROM WITHIN. >> ONE OF THE BIGGEST HEARTBREAKS EVER. ANNOUNCER: WHAT ABOUT FELLOW MOTIVATION FOR THEIR FELLOW BROTHER? WHAT ABOUT FOR EACH OTHER? >> WHAT A TRIBUTE TO DAMAR. ANNOUNCER: THE MOTIVATION FOR ONE SINGULAR GOAL. >> TOUCHDOWN CINCINNATI. ANNOUNCER: CAN STEM FROM MANY EXPERIENCEES AND EVERY EXPERIENCE LEADS UP TO THIS EXACT MOMENT. >> TO THE END ZONE. ANNOUNCER: TO BRING YOU ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOUR GOAL. >> ONE SEASON FROM HERE ON OUT. ANNOUNCER: WELCOME TO THE AFC DIVISIONAL. JIM: ENOUGH TO GET US STARTED, CANNOT BE MORE PRIMED TO HAVE THIS DIVISIONAL A SNOW COVERED FIELD AND A SKY SHROUDED IN SNOW. LET'S SEND IT DOWN TO JAY FEELY. JAY: IT SHOULD SNOW THROUGHOUT THE GAME. NO WIND OUT HERE. THESE HIGH-POWERED GAME, IT COULD COME DOWN TO SPECIAL TEAMS. WE KNOW ABOUT HINES. THE CONCERN FOR CINCINNATI IS A ROOKIE PUNTER AND HOLDER AND SECOND-YEAR KICKER WHO HAS BEEN SHAKY AT TIMES. ONE BIG PLAY, ONE BIG MISTAKE IN SPECIAL TEAMS, THAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE. JIM: THANKS, JAY. WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THE BILLS WON THE TOSS AND KICK IT AND DEFER HERE AT THE TOP. TONY: YOU WANT FOOTBALL AND SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A PLAYOFF GAME, THIS IS IT. ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS YOU KNEW WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND THESE TWO TEAMS WERE GOING TO MEET. THERE IS JOE COOL. JOE BURROW, THE PRESSURE AND YOU SEE WHAT HE HAS DONE. EXPECT YOUNG GUYS TO HANDLE ALL OF THIS. FOUR PLAYOFF WINS MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE BENGALS' HISTORY. IMPRESSIVE. JIM: BOTH OF THESE QUARTERBACKS' AGE, 26. ALL EIGHT QUARTERBACKS TOOK TEAMS TO THE DIVISIONAL WERE UNDER 30. BOTH HOME TEAMS WERE VICTORIOUS ON SATURDAY. BROKE THE TREND LAST YEAR WHEN ALL FOUR ROAD TEAMS WON IN DIVISIONAL WEEK. AWAY WE GO. WILLIAMS. THE GRAB OVER THE SHOULDER AT THE GOAL LINE AND FLIES UP AHEAD AND TRIPPED UP BY 20-YARD LINE. YOU MENTIONED IT, ALREADY HOLDS THE CINCINNATI RECORD FOR MOST PLAYOFF WINS AS A QUARTERBACK, 4-1. BOOMER HAD THREE WINS, ANDERSON HAD A COUPLE OF WINS VERSUS SOMETHING NEW FOR THIS FRANCHISE HAVING POST-SEASON WINS IN CONSECUTIVE SEASONS AND TODAY TRYING TO ADVANCE TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR. FROM THE GUN THE START. ABLE TO GIVE IT AWAY QUICKLY AND DOING ALL SEASON LONG AND THE CATCH IS BY JAMAR CHASE FOR SIX YARDS. HOW DO THEY APPROACH THE OFFENSE LIKE THIS INSTEAD OF THE DOWNFIELD LIKE LAST YEAR? TONY: LAST YEAR, THEY HAD TO GET THE BALL OUT OF JOE BURROW. GET IT FOR AND HELPED FOR COMMUNICATION. BUT NOW, HE'S GOT TO GO BACK TO LAST YEAR, FIRST AND SECOND DOWNS. JIM: SECOND AND 4. GIVE IT TO MIXON. AND MIXON IS ABLE TO MAKE HIS WAY ON THE SLIPPERY FIELD FOR FOUR. HURST HELPED WITH THE BLOCK IN ALL THAT TRAFFIC. THERE IS FRAZIER. TONY: RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF TEAMS ARE MISSING OUT. HE DESERVES HEAD COACHING OPPORTUNITIES. IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE HE WAS IN THE CORNER POSITION. MOST DYNAMIC SYSTEM. JIM: THIRD SNAP AND FIRST DOWN AS BURROW STEPS UP AND THROWS IT, COMPLETE TO BOYD. AND JUST LIKE THAT, CINCINNATI FINDS ITSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 50. TONY: GREAT DESIGN PLAY. YOU ARE GOING TO MOTION OVERLOAD ONE SIDE. BUT THE WEAPONS THAT CINCINNATI HAS. BOTH THESE TEAMS HAVE A PLETHERA OF WEAPONS ON THE OUTSIDE. BUT EARLY IN THE GAME, NO ONE IS BETTER THAN THE CINCINNATI BENGALS. THEY HAVE GREAT DESIGNS. JIM: TOSS IT TO MIXON AND GOOD YARDAGE FOR 10. ANOTHER 10. SO THAT GAIN OF 10. ASIASI, BACKUP TIGHT END. TONY: INTENT TO RUN THE FOOTBALL, WASN'T SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN HUGE FOR EITHER OF THESE TEAMS. SHORT DYNAMIC AND ALL THE WEAPONS ON THE OUTSIDE. BUT YOU HAVE THREE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN HURT, YOU HAVE TO RUN THE FOOTBALL. JIM: HUGE SIGN FOR CINCINNATI. EXTRA TIGHT ENDS AND WERE PIVOTAL, WILCOX AND ASIASI. FIRST DOWN AGAIN, THIS TIME FROM THE 35. TONY: EMPTY FORMATION AND GOING TO POP OUT. JIM: TIGHT END, HURST, AND ANOTHER FIRST DOWN PLAY FOR EIGHT. WORKING DOWN THE FIELD, MUCH LIKE THEY DID ON THE ONE OPENING DRIVE THEY HAD AGAINST THE BILLS 20 DAYS AGO. JUST LIKE THIS. TONY: THE BILLS TRY TO PRESSURE IN THAT SITUATION. TODAY, YOU FIGURE IF YOU ARE CINCINNATI, YOU ARE GOING TO STAY IN THE SHELL DEFENSE. CINCINNATI ALWAYS GETS OFF TO A GOOD DRIVE. AS GOOD AS ANYONE IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. BUFFALO GETS BETTER. JIM: SECOND AND 3. BURROW, FACING PRESSURE. WIDE OPEN. IT'S CHASE AND SPLITS THE DEFENDERS FOR THE TOUCHDOWN! WHAT A START, SIX PLAYS, 79 YARDS, WITH 28 YARDS TO CHASE, FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. TONY: PAUSE IT RIGHT THERE. AT THIS POINT, YOU ARE LOOKING IN THE BACKFIELD AND CHASE IS GOING TO SNEAK UP. WHEN THE QUARTERBACK MOVES, IT'S GREAT JOB BY CHASE TO TURN AND FIND THE SOFT SPOT. AND THAT IS WHY THIS TEAM IS SO HARD. IT'S NOT JUST GUARDING HIM RIGHT AWAY. IT'S AFTER THE FACT. JIM: LOW SNAP. THEY HAD SIX PLAYS, FOUR OF THEM WENT FOR FIRST DOWNS. THEY LOVE PLAYING ON THE ROAD. AND CHASE HAD A JIM: WE WELCOME BACK TO HIGHMARK STADIUM HERE IN ORCHARD PARK, JOE BURROW, 4-4, 65 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN. CHASE, NINE TOUCHDOWNS IN THE LAST NINE GAMES. TONY: HE HAS BEEN ON A TEAR TO FINISH THE YEAR. OFFENSIVE LINE LOOKED PRETTY GOOD ON THAT DRIVE. JIM: HERE'S HINES, FROM THE 2. SPLITS BETWEEN THOSE TWO DEFENDERS AND GETS TO THE 23. SO, JOSH ALLEN RUNNING OUT. YOU SEE WHAT HE DID LAST WEEK. .352. HE DID GET KNOCKED DOWN SEVEN TIMES BY THE DOLPHINS, THREE STRAIGHT PLAYOFF GAMES WITH 300 YARDS AND THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES. TONY: HE IS ON A TEAR. LAST WEEK, A COUPLE OF TURNOVERS. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BEAT CINCINNATI IF YOU HAVE SEVEN TURNOVERS. BOTH THESE QUARTERBACKS HAVE TO PROTECT THE BALL TODAY. JIM: ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO HIM. HAS THE ANGLE. UP TO MAKE THE HIT IS THE ROOKIE TAYLOR BRITT, OUT OF NEBRASKA. JOSH ALLEN, 35 TOUCHDOWN PASSES IN THE REGULAR SEASON, TIED FOR SECOND BEST IN THE LEAGUE WITH JOE BURROW. TONY: BOTH CAN USE THEIR LEGS AND YOU CAN SEE THEIR MOVEMENT A LITTLE BIT IN THE TOUCHDOWN PASS. ALLEN WILL USE HIS LEGS A LOT. YOU SEE THEM AS YOU GET CLOSER, WHEN YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOUR FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK IN THE RED ZONE, HE IS GOING TO RUN THE BALL. JIM: AND DIGGS IS THERE. LOOK AT THAT TACKLE. BACK-TO-BACK PLAYS BY TAYLOR BRITT. ANARUMO IS THE COORDINATOR. TONY: IT IS SPECTACULAR. LAST YEAR, HE CAME CAME UP WITH AN INCREDIBLE PLAN HOW TO DEFEND MAHOMES IN THAT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND GAVE THEM THE CHANCE AND REALLY WAS THE DIFFERENCE TO SEND THEM TO THE SUPER BOWL. AND WHAT HE HAS DONE THAT, TAKE THAT, EVOLVE AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF GUYS UP THERE IN THE LINE AND SEE OTHER GUYS POP OUT AND HARD ON QUARTERBACKS. JIM: THIRD AND 4. HERE THEY COME. AND IT'S OVER THE OUTSTRETCHED ARM OF DIGGS WHO WAS OPEN. THE PRESSURE FROM OSSAI AND ENDED UP OVERTHROWING IT. TONY: STUTTER ROUTE AND THE BALL IS A LITTLE HIGH. THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT HERE, THIS IS WHY ANARUMO IS DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB. THE GUY WHO IS PRESSURING IS PRATT AND GOING AGAINST SINGLETARY, THE RUNNING BACK. THAT CREATES THAT INTERNAL PRESSURE THAT YOU WANT TO GET QUARTERBACKS. JIM: THREE AND OUT FOR THE BILLS. MARTIN SENDS IT DOWN TOWARDS TRENT TAYLOR. TAYLOR FROM THE 18. 10-YARD RUNBACK. 53-YARD PUNT. YOU ARE WATCHING THE JIM: THE NFL ON CBS IS SPONSORED BY ROYAL CARIBBEAN. ALL THE VACATIONS, COME SEEK. LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE, ONLY PAY FOR WHAT YOU NEED. AND BY PEPSI, MADE FOR FOOTBALL WATCHING. WHAT A DAY TO WATCH. SIT BACK AND ENJOY DIVISIONAL FOOTBALL, CATCH A FEW SNOWFLAKES. THIS MATCHUP, THE BIGGEST WIN STREAKS BY TWO TEAMS EVER COMING INTO A DIVISIONAL-ROUND GAME. EIGHT FOR THE BILLS, NINE FOR CINCINNATI, ALL-TIME FRANCHISE MARK AND HERE THEY START THE SECOND DRIVE FROM THE 28. MIXON. EDMUNDS IS THERE AND WRESTLES HIM DOWN. FIRST DRIVE WAS SOMETHING ELSE, TONY. TONY: IT REALLY WAS. THE DESIGN OVERLOADED TO THE SIDE. YOU SEE THE ABILITY TO GET PEOPLE OFF THE PRESS AND THE SECONDARY OPPORTUNITY THAT IS CREATED BY THE LEFT TACKLE. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AROUND IN THE POCKET AND GET TO THE SECOND LEVEL AND GET GUYS COME BACK AND COME OUT. RUN THE FOOTBALL AND STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE AROUND THE POCKET. JIM: OH, WHAT A BIG OPENING FOR MIXON. AND HE GETS ALL THE WAY TO THE 50. THE RIGHT TACKLE WHO IS IN FOR COLLINS, THIS TIME, I MENTIONED SO MANY DIFFERENT BLOCKERS. HE MADE THE PLAY FOR 16. TONY: YOU ARE GOING TO SEE RIGHT HERE, YOU SAID IT, REALLY IMPRESSIVE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS WHAT THE BENGALS DID AGAINST THE RAVENS AND LATER IN THAT GAME. YOU SAW THEIR IDENTITY. GOING TO RUN IT MORE THAN THEY DID ALL YEAR. JIM: HUNDRED YARDS OF OFFENSE. NOT EVEN 7:00 IN. HIGGINS GETS ON THE BOARD WITH A RECEPTION. AND ABLE TO TACKLE DOWN. EVERYONE IN THIS GAME AT LEAST FOUR YARDS AND BEEN OVER 20 ON THREE OF THEM AND HAVE FIRST-QUARTER DOMINANCE YOU CAN SEE OVER THE LAST FOUR GAMES. 32-0 IN THE OPENING QUARTER. TONY: CINCINNATI IS UNBELIEVABLE WHEN THEY ARE LEADING IN THE FIRST QUARTER, 18-1. JIM: SECOND AND 4. GETS A HANDLE. AND IT WAS A TEAMMATE AT MIXON'S FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. GOT ANOTHER FIRST DOWN AND GIVES THEM THEIR SIXTH. STYLE AND SUBSTANCE. THAT'S THE COMBO AND TALKING STYLE, SUBSTANCE HERE, JUST ALREADY GONE PAST WITH THAT MARK IN THE POST-SEASON WITH FOUR WINS -- THERE'S THE STYLE. LOOKS LIKE YOU SHOWING UP TO THE GAME TODAY. TONY: EXACTLY RIGHT. THEY USUALLY CALL ME THE FASHION KING OF THE WORLD. JIM: BURROW TO HIGGINS AND NOBODY NEAR HIM AND KNOWS WHERE TO GO. EVERY PLAY IS A BIG CHUNK. TONY: THE FOOTING IS VERY DIFFICULT OUT THERE AND PART OF IT BECAUSE THESE ARE GREAT PLAYER. SECOND-ROUND PICK FROM CLEMSON AND I KNOW EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT CHASE AND HE IS THE NUMBER ONE. THIS GUY AND ALMOST ANY OTHER TEAM, YOU WOULD BE DEFENDING HIM AND FIGURING OUT TO DOUBLE-TEAM HIM. JIM: IF YOU ASKED HIM YESTERDAY, WHAT'S YOUR GIFT? HE SAID THE ABILITY TO USE MY SIZE AND PLAY A LOT SMALLER. HERE'S CHASE, GETTING THE RUSH, FOR ABOUT FOUR. THAT IS INCREDIBLE COMBINATION WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE TWO NUMBER ONES. TONY: AND THIS IS A GOOD JOB BY THE COACHING STAFF AND ZAC TAYLOR AND BRIAN CALLAGHAN GIVING YOUR STAR PLAYER THE BALL. WE SEEN IT. AND THEN THEY GET A LITTLE FRUSTRATED. JIM: THE THIRD IS PRETTY GOOD, TOO. SECOND AND 7. AND THAT'S PERINE. HE IS SUCH A LOAD AND DRAGS IT OUT. THIRD DOWN IS ON THE WAY. TONY: ONE OF THE AREAS YOU WANT TO ATTACK. THAT'S WHERE THE COVERAGE IS. MILANO. FIRST-TEAM ALL-PRO. PLAYING THE BEST FOOTBALL IN HIS CAREER. AND LINEBACKER POSITION. HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH THREE, FOUR OTHER GUYS. JIM: MOVEMENT. AND RUNS AFTER BURROW AND TACKLES HIM AT THE 33-YARD LINE. TONY: THIS IS A GREAT JOB OF DRAWING HIM OFFSIDES WITH THE SILENT COUNT. TWO NEW SNAP COUNTS THIS WEEK. REFEREE: NUMBER 55. FIVE-YARD PENALTY THAT RESULTS IN A FIRST DOWN. TONY: SCHARPING, 74, THE RIGHT GUARD, HE IS LOOKING BACK AND SINGLES TO HIM. THERE'S THE SNAP COUNT AND GOING TO COME RIGHT AS HIS CENTER AND WAITED WITH THE DELAY AND JOE BURROW DID A GOOD JOB COMING UP WITH TWO NEW SILENT SNAP COUNTS AND WAITED FOR THIRD AND 3. JIM: 9:00 INTO THE GAME AND EIGHT FIRST DOWNS. ANOTHER FIVE FOR THE BENGALS, MARCHING DOWN AS THEY DID IN THE OPENING SERIES. TONY: I WOULD BE CONCERNED IF I'M A BILLS' FAN. WHAT MAKES THEM INCREDIBLE, FRAZIER AND MCDERMOTT, YOU HAVE HELP AND THEY KNOW THEIR LEVERAGING AND IF THEY ARE GOING SOMEWHERE. THE FOOTING ON THE FIELD ISN'T ALLOWING IT. JIM: SECOND AND 5. MIXON IS TACKLED. AND MILANO WITH TWO SACKS AND TWO TACKLES. LOSS OF 2. TONY: THAT IS WHY HE IS AN ALL-PRO. STACK AND THEN FIRE AND THEN FINISH THE PLAY. THIS IS IT, THOUGH. THE GAME IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO THIS. RED ZONE, THIRD DOWN PLAYS. WHICH QUARTERBACK IS GOING TO SCORE TOUCHDOWNS AND WHICH ONE IS GOING TO KICK FIELD GOALS. JIM: JOE YESTERDAY THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE SO ESSENTIAL. THIRD AND 7. TO THE END ZONE! WIDE OPEN! HURST HAULS IT UNTIL! TONY: CALLAHAN AND TAYLOR OFFENSE RED ZONE AND CREATE ALL OF THESE THINGS. CHASE IS A DECOY ON THE SCREEN AND HURST IS WIDE OPEN AND JUST CHALLENGE IN SO MANY AREAS. WHAT A DESIGN. CALLAGHAN GETTING ALL THE LOOKS NOW TO BE HEAD COACH. HE HAS EVERY POSITION. JIM: STUNNING HOW OPEN THE BENGALS WERE FINDING THEMSELVES AND NOW THE EXTRA POINT. THIS ONE, 72 YARDS, 10 PLAYS AND ANOTHER EXTRA POINT. TONY: DOESN'T IT LOOK LIKE THE FIRST TIME THEY PLAYED, THOUGH? JIM: MAN WITH THE CAPE IS 9-9, TO SIX DIFFERENT RECEIVERS AND A PAIR OF TOUCHDOWN TOSSES, LAST ONE GOING TO SMART AND ATHLETIC, GOOD IN SCRAMBLE DRILL SITUATIONS AND HE LOVES THAT AND FIRST YEAR AND SIGNED BY WAY OF ATLANTA IN THE OFF-SEASON. THIS WILL LEAD TO A TOUCHBACK AND THE BILLS FIND THEMSELVES IN AN EARLY GIANT HOLE. NEXT SUNDAY AFTER THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, A SPECIAL NEW EPISODE OF TV'S TOP NEW SERIES "FIRE COUNTRY," NEXT SUNDAY ON CBS. COME OUT AT HOME AND YOU WOULD HAVE RUN THREE PLAYS TO THIS POINT, THAT'S IT, AND FIND YOURSELF 14 DOWN. TONY: I ASKED THEM THIS QUESTION YESTERDAY AND WHEN YOU GET BEHIND AT HOME -- JIM: SINGLETARY. GAIN OF ABOUT 3. AND WHAT DID HE SAY? TONY: I SAID HOW DO YOU HANDLE THE MENTAL SIDE. THREE TURNOVERS REALLY QUICKLY AND ALLOWED MIAMI TO GET BACK IN THE GAME. SOME ARE THE QUARTERBACK'S FAULT AND SOME ARE NOT. HE CAME RIGHT BACK AND THREW THAT INCREDIBLE BALL IN THE CORNER TO BIG-GAME GABE AND I SAID HOW DID YOU GET BACK? AND WHEN YOU GET BEHIND, THAT'S THE BEST ATTRIBUTE HE HAS LEARNED IN THE NFL. JIM: SECOND AND 7, ROOKIE RUSHER OUT OF GEORGIA. AND AGAIN, THE BENGALS ARE REALLY ALERT EVERY TIME THE BALL GETS IN THE HANDS OF ONE OF THE RECEIVERS. GAIN OF 2. 11 STRAIGHT QUARTERS, ANARUMO'S DEFENSE HAS NOT SERNDED A FIRST-QUARTER TOUCHDOWN. LITTLE SLIP. NOT IN HIGH GEAR. TONY: I MENTIONED THE FOOTING. HARD ON DEFENSES OUT HERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TOO FAR BEHIND IF YOU ARE BUFFALO. WHEN IT'S SLIPPERY, THEY WANT TO GIVE YOU MORE SPACE. JIM: HENDRICKSON FROM BEHIND AND THE BALL IS TOSSED AND PICKED UP AND SCOOPED UP AND WILL THEY RULE THAT AS A FUMBLE OR INCOMPLETION? TONY: THREE-MAN RUSH. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AGAINST MAHOMES LAST YEAR. ONLY RUSH THREE. BUT SOMEBODY WITH THE GREAT EFFORT AND THIS TIME IT IS HENDRICKSON. JIM: INCOMPLETE PASS. TONY: GOES RIGHT AROUND DAWKINS. AND RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE CINCINNATI IS ABSOLUTELY DOMINATING AND LUCKY IT'S CALLED AN INCOMPLETE PASS. JIM: GENE, WHAT DO YOU THINK? GENE: FORWARD PASS AND SINGLETARY IS IN THE VICINITY. ANOTHER STRENGTH OF JOSH ALLEN. JIM: FROM THE 19. TAYLOR WIGGLES AND GETS PAST THE 30. 9-0 ON FIRST DOWNS. 14-0 ON THE BOARD JIM: THE NFL ON CBS IS SPONSORED BY NEW BALANCE. WE GOT NOW. AND BY SUBWAY, SUBWAY'S UPPING THEIR GAME WITH THE SUBWAY SERIES MENU. WELL, TWO TOUCHDOWN DRIVES FOR CINCINNATI, HANDLING THE FOOTBALL NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME. TWO TIMES FOR THE BILLS. POSSESSION, THREE PLAYS AND A PUNT. BURROW. THAT BALL, IN AND OUT OF THE HANDS OF WILCOX. AND ALL THE TALK WOULD HE HAVE ENOUGH TIME, HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE SO FAR. TONY: HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE, READ-AND-REACT. THEY ARE LOOKING AT BURROW AND USING THAT TO HIS ADVANTAGE LIKE MOVING DEFENDERS. BUFFALO PLAYS THESE MATCHED ZONE COVERAGES. AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR GUY. JIM: FIRST INCOMPLETION FOR BURROW. THAT'S JACKSON REACHING UP AND DENYING. TONY: GREAT JOB BY JACKSON REROUTEING. BUT THIS IS A GREAT DESIGN BY DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR. SWITCH IT UP. THIS IS WHERE BUFFALO CHANGES. JIM: JACKSON'S CHILDHOOD FRIEND AND COLLEGE TEAMMATE OF HAMLIN MAKE THE BREAKUP OF THE PASS PLAY AND GIVE HAMLIN'S HEART SIGN. THIRD AND 10. COMPLETE! FOR THE FIRST, TO IRWIN, WHO HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD SITUATIONAL PLAYER FOR THIS YEAR, PICKUP OF 13. TONY: BURROW IS GOING TO HOLD EDMUNDS INSIDE. THAT IS WHY HE IS A LITTLE LATE. THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED. TALKING ABOUT TWO OF THE BEST THIRD AND LONG TEAMS, BOTH IN THE TOP FIVE IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND THAT'S WHY THESE QUARTERBACKS SEPARATE. NOT JUST GOING TO CHASE, JUST GOING TO GO TO HIGGINS. DEPENDS ON THE COVERAGE AND WHERE PEOPLE ARE. JIM: THEY HAVE RESET THE CLOCK. OFFSIDES CALL AGAINST BUFFALO, DECLINED AND CINCINNATI CONTINUES TO MOVE THE CHAINS. GIVEN THE CHAIN GANG A WORKOUT IN THIS OPENING QUARTER WITH 10 FIRST DOWNS. BURROW. ALMOST PULLED IN. THAT WAS BOYD TRYING TO REAL IT IN. IT WAS CLOSE. TONY: I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO SEE AND FIND. PLAY MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE AND HE DOES A GOOD JOB. ONE OF THE MOST UNSUNG HEROES ON THIS DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL TEAM. BUFFALO NEVER HAS TO BE STRESSED ABOUT THE SLOT. THIS MAN BLITZ DANCES REMEMBER HE KNOCKED IT OUT WITH A PERFECT PLAY. JIM: HE CONSIDERS HIM HIM TO BE THE BEST SLOT CORNER. SECOND AND 10, AS MIXON RUNS INTO A WHOLE GROUP OF DEFENDERS. AND NOW JUST THIRD THIRD DOWN OF THIS OPENING QUARTER. TONY: DO YOU PRESSURE OR DO YOU NOT PRESSURE? SO FAR IN THIS GAME, YOU HAVE GOTTEN BEAT SITUAIONALLY. BUT NO ONE IS AS GOOD AS FRAZIER AND SEAN MCDERMOTT HAVE DONE THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. AND DO YOU COME AFTER THEM? MILANO RIGHT THERE. JIM: THAT PRESSURE ON HIM. BURROW IS SACKED. MILANO -- HE WAS JUST STAYING BACK AS A SPY. TONY: EXACTLY RIGHT, JIM. HE WAS SPYING. FOURTH RUSHER AND DECIDES NOT TO GO RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BLOCKED, HE WAITS, WAITS, WAITS. AND YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM MILANO. FIRST-TEAM ALL-PRO. AND LEARNING WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. BUT THEY DO NEED TO SCORE. JIM: FINAL SECONDS OF THE FIRST QUARTER. AND CHRIS MAN, OUT OF OHIO STATE. THIS ONE BOUNCES NEAR THE 20. DIDN'T CATCH THAT ONE THE WAY HE HOPED AND WILL MARK IT AT 20-YARD LINE. BACK IN 30 AFTER THIS FROM STATE FARM. JIM: SEAN MCDERMOTT'S TEAM HAS SEEN 160 YARDS POSTED AGAINST BILLS' DEFENSE. BILLS HAVE ONLY MANAGED 11 YARDS AND NOT A SINGLE FIRST DOWN. ALLEN. BIG TROUBLE. HE IS SACKED WHO COMES UP FROM THE SAFETY POSITION. TONY: TALK ABOUT A FIRST QUARTER, CINCINNATI DID IT, AND THEY ARE JIM: HAMLIN FAMILY WATCHING FROM ONE OF THE SUITES AND TALKING TO JOSH ALLEN ABOUT HOW THESE TWO TEAMS CAME TOGETHER THAT MONDAY NIGHT OF JANUARY 2. HE SAID REALLY RESPECT THOSE GUYS, THAT CITY AND HOW GRACIOUS THEY WERE AND BEYOND WITH DAMAR. SECOND QUARTER, SECOND AND AND FINDS IT IN THERE. A FIRST DOWN. FIRST OF THE GAME. DIGGS WITH THE RECEPTION. TONY: YOU ARE GOING TO SEE A DEEP CURL ROCK AND THEY ARE ABOUT TO GET UNDER A DROP THAT GAME AND REALLY GOING NO-HUDDLE. START THEM OUT HERE. COME ON DOWN HERE. COME ON DOWN, COLE. JIM: PLAY-ACTION, TAKING OFF WITH IT. ALLEN. THAT ENDS WITH PICKUP OF 4. TONY: GOOD JOB BY ALLEN. THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE ANOTHER DROPBACK BUT R.P.O. AND USES HIS LEGS. YOU HAVE TO LOOSE THOSE LEGS TODAY. JIM: SECOND AND 6. MORE RUSHING. DIVING ATTEMPT FOR THE RECEPTION AND DAVIS FOR ANOTHER FIRST DOWN AT THE 50. GAIN OF 9. TONY: THIS IS DONE. PAUSE THAT. BOOM. HE LOOKED TO THE LEFT AND THAT MOVES EVERYONE'S EYES OVER THERE AND CREATES IT. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME PLAYING ZONE AGAINST THESE QUARTERBACKS BECAUSE OF THE LEVERAGING AND YOU CAN'T RECOVER. JIM: HEAD RISKS AND -- HENDRICKS. >> 91 AND 94. SEVEN YARDS ON THE CATCH BY DIGGS. TONY: 91, 94 CREATE A LOT OF ISSUES. HUBBARD, SWISS ARMY KNIFE FOR HIM. HE'LL SPY, PRESSURE THE QUARTERBACK. AND HENDRICKSON, HIGH-LOADER. JIM: SECOND AND 3. BEASLEY. FIRST DOWN, TO THE 30! TONY: VERY SIMILAR PLAY. BEASLEY DIDN'T MOTION DOWN. HE STARTED DOWN IN THERE AND RUN A BUBBLE OUTSIDE AND THIS IS CREATING A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE, SPREADING OUT THE BENGALS. JIM: FIVE RECEIVERS. BILLS TRYING TO HEAT UP AFTER ONLY EIGHT YARDS IN THE OPENING QUARTER. HENDRICKSON, ONE OF THOSE COMING AFTER THEM. OUT OF BOUNDS. WE JUST SAW THE HAMLIN FAMILY UP IN THE SUITES AND FOR MORE, TRACY. TRACY: HAMLIN RETURNED TO THE FACILITY AND THEY SAID IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE HIM AROUND US. ALL BABY STEPS AND UP TO HAMLIN HOW HE WANTS TO BE INVOLVED EVERY DAY. A SPOKES PERSON SAID DESPITE BEING OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, HE REQUIRES OXYGEN AND HEART RATE MONITORED BUT HE IS UPBEAT AND POSITIVE AND I WAS TOLD HE HAS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. JIM: WELL, THAT SMILE WILL GET IT WIDER IF THE BILLS CONTINUE THIS DRIVE TOWARDS THE END ZONE AFTER THIS 14-POINT DEFICIT AT THE START. SO GREAT TO HAVE HIM IN THE STADIUM. TONY: 100%. ALL THE PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY. AND FOR HIM TO BE HERE TODAY, WHAT A REWARD AND GIFT TO HAVE EVERYONE ROOTING FOR HIM ACROSS THE WORLD. JIM: BENGALS WHEN WE MET WITH HIM YESTERDAY, THEY SAID THEY HOPED HE WOULD BE HERE TODAY. THIRD AND 2. OH, HE KNEW HE HAD TO GET A LITTLE MORE OUT OF THAT. HE IS GOING TO BE SPOTTED A FOOT SHORT. READER IS CLOGGING UP THAT DOWN THE FIRST DOWN YARDAGE. TONY: BUFFALO IS RUNNING. BEFORE THEN, THE LAST TWO RUNS, THEY ONLY RAN IT ONE TIME AND BOTH TEAMS NEED TO RUN THE FOOTBALL. EVERYONE IS PREPARING SO MUCH. JIM: FOURTH AND A FOOT. SINGLETARY COMES BACK IN. TONY: QUARTERBACK SNEAK IT. JIM: MAKE IT 11-12. GOT ENOUGH FOR THE FIRST DOWN. TONY: THAT'S WHERE TEAMS HAVE GOTTEN SO SMART. IF YOU ARE GOING TO QUARTERBACK SNEAK IT, HAND IT OFF ON A MOTION. BUT RIGHT THERE, WHEN THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WIDTH ON THE D-LINE, JUST RUN IT IN THERE UP THE MIDDLE. BOTTOM PUSH RIGHT THERE. JIM: I GET YOUR POINT. SPENCER BROWN WAS THE ONE CREDITED WITH THAT. FIRST AND 10. WATCH OUT. THEY ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON HIM AND ABLE TO WEAVE THROUGH IT. THE BALL CAME OUT AFTER HE HIT THE GROUND. RULE HIM DOWN. THEY HAVE A MARKER OUT AS WELL. REFEREE: HOLDING, NUMBER 71, OFFENSE, 10-YARD PENALTY. FIRST DOWN. JIM: BATES. THEY HAVE BEEN PUTTING PRESSURE ON HIM. ALMOST HAD HIM A SECOND TIME. TONY: THAT'S THE HOLD. BUT LOOK AT THE SWING MOVE BY READER. THAT'S THE CALL. THAT'S A FLOP, IF I HAVE SEEN IT. BUT ARE GOING TO GET CALLED IT AT THE POINT OF ATTACK. THIS DEFENSIVE LINE IS DOMINATING. WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE OTHER WAY. READER HAS HAD AN OUTSTANDING YEAR. JIM: AND B.J. HILL. FIRST AND 20, FOR FOUR OR FIVE. THIS DRIVE HAS REACHED 5:00 LONG. TONY: FIVE YARDS IS RIGHT THERE FOR YOU. JIM: INSIDE THE NFL THE SHOW THAT THE PROCESS WATCH STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY ON PARAMOUNT +. SECOND AND 16. FROM THE 27. LITTLE SHOULDER FAKE. GOES TO THE RIGHT SIDE. OPEN. SHACK HIRE. AND CAME UP LAST WEEK WITH FOUR CATCHES, THREE CATCHES AFTER 10 ON THE SEASON. THAT GOES FOR 23. TONY: PUMP FAKES. YOU CAN'T PLAY ZONE TODAY BECAUSE THE FOOTING DOESN'T ALLOW TO RECOVER. IF THE QUARTERBACK IS GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AS ALLEN STANDS IN. THAT'S A HUGE THROW KEEPS BUFFALO'S PLAYOFF HOPES ALIVE. JIM: HILL KNOCKED HIM DOWN. FROM THE 4. FIRST AND GOAL. QUICKLY ON SINGLETARY, WHO FIGHTS JUST TO GET BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. TONY: SO IMPRESSED WITH CINCINNATI THIS YEAR. THEY TACKLE AS WELL AS ANY FOOTBALL TEAM AND LENCHES AS WELL AS ANY FOOTBALL TEAM. REMINDS ME OF THOSE YEARS GOING UP TO NEW ENGLAND AND KEPT THE LEVERAGING. YOU HAVE HELP ON THE INSIDE AND GUARDING. AND THEN YOU TACKLE AND KEEP IT AND SURROUND THE BALL CARRIER. THAT'S WHAT THIS TEAM DOES. JIM: SECOND AND GOAL. ALLEN TAKING OFF WITH IT. WAIT A MINUTE. LOOK AT THIS EFFORT! ALMOST TOOK TWO DEFENSIVE LINEMEN WITH HIM. ONE OF WHOM WAS CARTER. TUPOU WAS ANOTHER. GOT WITHIN A YARD OF PAY DAY. TONY: GETS INSIDE. THEY ARE GOING TO USE HIS LEGS IN THE RED ZONE. IN BIG GAMES, THEY ALWAYS DO THAT. BUT JUST THE STRENGTH. JIM: THIRD AND GOAL. TONY: THIRD AND 1 FROM THE GOAL LINE. JIM: THERE'S THE TOUCHDOWN AS HE GOES OFF LEFT GUARD AND HAS A FEW YARDS TO SAY TO BATES. TONY: YOU WANT A RIVALRY. AND GUESS WHAT? CINCINNATI IS HERE NOW AND YOU HAVE THREE TEAMS THAT YOU KNOW AND THESE QUARTERBACKS ARE GOING TO BE IN IT OVER THE NEXT DECADE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THESE GAMES ARE HUGE. EMOTION OF JOSH ALLEN, HE KNOWS HOW BIG THIS IS. JIM: THAT'S DAMAR ON REACTION TO THAT TOUCHDOWN, STANDING AND APPLAUDING. JOSH ALLEN, SEVEN RUSH TOUCHDOWNS. AND GOES OVER A HALF QUARTER LONG. JIM: JOSH ALLEN CONVERTED ON SNEAKS ON FOURTH AND 1 AND THIRD AND 1 AWAY FROM THE GOAL LINE ALSO. CONVERTS FOR THE SCORE, 5-6 ON THAT DRIVE. TONY: VERY MUCH NEEDED IF YOU ARE A BILLS' FAN THERE. 14-0, NOT LOOKING GOOD. THESE TWO TEAMS ARE GOING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SLOW THE OTHER ONE DOWN. JIM: HERE'S BASS WITH THE KICK AND BRING IT OUT TO THE 25. TRACY: THERE IS A BOND BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS AND FAN BASES. THE SUPPORT STARTED BACK IN 2017 WHEN THE BENGALS' WIN SENT THEM TO THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 17 YEARS AND THEN AFTER DAMAR HAMLIN COLLAPSED, BENGALS HELD VIGILS AND DONATED TO DAMAR'S FOUNDATION. THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT IS ON HOLD TODAY. JIM: ANDY DALTON, A HEALTHY CHECK, TOO, IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. GREAT SHOW OF SUPPORTSMANSHIP AS PERINE TAKES IT FOR FOUR YARDS. TONY: HE KNOWS FOOTBALL AND SUCH A HIGH LEVEL FOR THIS GUY. AND HIS ABILITY TO PROCESS INFORMATION. I AM THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED AND ASKED THEM IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WINDOW, HOW LONG IS THIS CHAMPIONSHIP WINDOW OPEN? BURROW SAYS AS LONG AS I'M PLAYING. JIM: THAT'S THE WAY HE THINKS. SECOND AND 6. GOES TO FIRST AND MARK HIM FOR THE FIRST DOWN. TONY: I AGREE WITH HIM AND IMPRESSED ME AND HURST HAS RARE ABILITIES, PLAYS WELL INSIDE, OUTSIDE. JIM: THEY TRY TO COME UP WITH A COMPARISON THAT BURROW IS SOMEONE ELSE AND JOE COOL IS THE SAME MONICKER FOR JOE MONTANA. HE SAID I'M ALWAYS CHASING PERFECTION. TONY: HE IS LIKEABLE. THIS IS GAME-DAY JOE. JIM: FIRST DOWN. MIXON. THAT ONE FOR 12. INJURY UPDATE FROM TRACY. TRACE DRAIS THE BENGALS WITHOUT THREE STARTING OFFENSIVE LINEMEN THEY PUT A BRACE ON IT AND TRYING TO DO LATERAL MOVEMENT AND WINING IN PAIN AND FIGHTING THROUGH IT BUT IT IS EVIDENT IT IS BOTHERING HIM, JIM. JIM: IT'S GOING RIGHT THROUGH THE LINE WITH COLLINS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, CAPPA, WILLIAMS. FIRST AND 10. GOING DEEP. AND CHASE HAD TWO DEFENDERS IN THE AREA INCLUDING JACKSON. TONY: BIG-TIME ROUTE RIGHT HERE. MAKES YOU FEEL SOMETHING AND RUNS RIGHT BY YOU AS IF YOU ARE NOT EVEN GUARDING THERE. JACKSON DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE. JIM: HAVEN'T SEEN THAT DEEP BALL NEARLY FOR CHASE. HIS AVERAGE FOR CATCH IS DOWN ABOUT SIX YARDS PER CATCH THAN HIS ROOKIE YEAR. TONY: TRYING TO DOUBLE-TEAM. EVERYONE IS PLAYING TWO HIGH SAFETIES. WHEN YOU PUT BOTH THESE SAFETIES BACK, YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET AS MANY DEEP. JIM: THAT'S 19 MORE FOR THE BENGALS. TONY: HURST IS GOING TO COME IN RIGHT THERE AND WHEN HE IS LOOKING LEFT AND HOLDING THE INSIDE BACKERS, HE DOESN'T THROW THE BALL OUT. HE GOES INSIDE AND THAT'S THE EVOLUTION. JOE BURROW HAS LEARNED. JIM: FIRST DOWN PLAY-ACTION. AND IT GOES TO WILCOX. AND OLIVER COMES BACK TO MAKE THE TACKLE. BUT THAT'S EIGHT MORE FOR CINCINNATI. TONY: OUTSTANDING QUARTERBACK PLAY FROM BURROW. PLAYING FROM A PHONE BOOTH. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SACK OR THROW-AWAY. FOR HIM TO GET EIGHT YARDS. JIM: CONNECTED WITH EIGHT DIFFERENT RECEIVERS. TONY: SO ACCURATE IN HIS THROW. IF HE RETIRED RIGHT NOW HE WOULD LEAD IN PERCENTAGE. JIM: SECOND AND 2. PERINE. AND AGAIN, HE GOT A GOOD FOUR, FIVE YARDS BEFORE ANYONE PUT A HAND ON HIM AND FIRST DOWN AT THE 20. TONY: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. OFFENSIVE LINE MEN HAVE THINGS IN COMMON. MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE BIGGER THAN D-LINEMEN. AND I THINK YOU ARE SEEING THAT. SCHARPING. THESE GUYS HAVE PLAYED. JIM: SECOND-ROUND PICK WITH THE TEXANS. 33 STARTS IN HOUSTON. FIRST AND 10 AND BURROW SAW THE PRESSURE COMING. TAKES THE INCOMPLETION. "VERIZON HALFTIME REPORT" COMING UP WITH J.B., PHIL, NATE, BOOMER AND HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FIRST HALF HERE COMING UP ON THE "VERIZON HALFTIME REPORT." [CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORTS DIVISION] CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY. VISIT NCICAP.ORG. TONY: CINCINNATI HAS FINISHED OFF AND DRIVES CLOSER. JIM: DRIVE FOUR. FIRST TWO WENT FOR TOUCHDOWNS. TONY: BUFFALO IS NUMBER TWO IN THE NFL FOR RED ZONE DEFENSE. JIM: SECOND AND 10. IT'S MIXON, BREAKING OUTSIDE. AND TRIPPED UP BY JACKSON AND JACKSON MAKING SOME PLAYS INCLUDING PASS DEFENSE THAT HELPED STOP THE BENGALS, THE ONLY TIME THEY FAILED TO SCORE. TONY: THAT'S WHAT THIS DEFENSE DOES. THESE CORNERS TACKLES. THIS TEAM DOES THAT. YOU SEE IT ON JACKSON AND EVERYONE. HUGE PLAY. JIM: JUST INSIDE THE 15. AND TIME-OUT CALLED BY CINCINNATI. WE'LL'S BE BACK IN 30 AFTER THIS FROM PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE. JIM: WE WERE TALKING TO JOE LAST NIGHT AND TALKING ABOUT THIRD DOWN PLAYS IN THE RED ZONE AS FOUR-POINT PLAYS, SETTLING FOR A FIELD GOAL. TONY: HE IS CALLING OUT THE PROTECTION. DO THIS. IF YOU THROW IT RIGHT AWAY -- JIM: HE DOES. CHASE. CHASE AND EDMUNDS. AND THE PIN-DOWN BY EDMUNDS. BUT CHASE, IS HE GOING TO MAKE THE MOVE BEFORE ANYBODY CAN GET HIM. FIRST AND GOAL. TONY: IT'S A NUMBERS' GAME. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN. BALL HAS TO COME OUT RIGHT AWAY. TOP OFFENSIVE WEAPON AND THROW HIM THE BALL VERY QUICKLY. WELL DONE BY BURROW. JIM: WHITE WAS THE CORNER ON THE COVERAGE. FIRST AND GOAL. FROM THE 6. TOSS. MIXON. GIVE THEM ONE. WHITE MAKES THE TACKLE THAT TIME. YOU'RE WATCHING THE DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS PRESENTED BY JIM: DURING THAT TIME-OUT, THEY MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT DAMAR'S IN THE BUILDING AND EVERYONE STOOD ON THEIR FEET AND FOUND HIM IN THAT SUITE AND SIGNALED BACK. HERE'S SECOND AND GOAL. BURROW IS GOING TO THROW IT TO THE BACK OF THE END ZONE. TONY: THEY DID THAT BECAUSE THEY NEED A STOP THERE AND DAMAR STOOD UP. WHAT A DISEEN. -- WHAT A SCENE. THAT'S HIS SIGN. JIM: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY AND GALVANIZED THIS NATION, WELL BEYOND THE FOOTBALL UNIVERSE. THIRD AND GOAL COMING UP AS CINCINNATI -- TONY: HE WOULD ALWAYS THAT HEART WITH HIS TEAM. JIM: STOP THE PLAY WITH A FLAG. REFEREE: FALSE START, NUMBER 79, OFFENSE. FIVE-YARD PENALTY. THIRD DOWN. TONY: WHEN THIS THING GETS LOUD IN HERE, SOME OF THE LOUDEST AREAS ARE DOWN INSIDE THOSE 10-YARD LINES AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE SNAP COUNT. JIM: JUST A LITTLE BIT EARLY. BUT FIRST FLAG OF THE GAME ON CINCINNATI. TONY: FEEL THE NERVOUSNESS RIGHT NOW. CASE OF NERVES DOESN'T SHOW VERY OFTEN. JIM: THIRD AND GOAL. TO THE END ZONE! CHASE! TOUCHDOWN! WHAT A CATCH! TONY: WOW! THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT JIM. THESE TWO GUYS, THEY ARE IN RARE TERRITORY, 23-YEAR-OLD. THEY ARE GOING TO BE DOING THIS FOR 10, 15 MORE YEARS AND THAT BALL WAS PERFECTLY THROWN. JIM: I SAID WHAT A CATCH. WHAT A PASS. TONY: PERFECT PASS. AND THAT'S A DOUBLE-TEAM AND DOESN'T MATTER. THESE TWO ARE GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE. JIM: SECOND TOUCHDOWN OF THE GAME FOR CHASE. REFEREE: UNDER REVIEW. TONY: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN. LOOKING AT THE BALL. JIM: YOU HAVE THE TRAINED EYE, GENE. GENE: THE FEET ARE VERY GOOD. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING IS THE FOOTBALL AND DOES HE HAVE FIRM CONTROL. THE BALL DOES MOVE, BUT AS HE IS BACK PEDDLING, HE HAS TO HAVE THAT FIRM CONTROL WITH TWO FEET INBOUNDS. TONY: THE BALL'S GOING TO MOVE RIGHT HERE. AND MILANO REACHES IN AND PUSHES IT. THE BALL IS NOT TECHNICALLY -- HERE WE GO. WATCH RIGHT HERE, GENE. HE MOVES THE BALL. SEE HOW IT IS STILL SPINNING, THAT'S THE CONCERN FOR ME. AND REACHES OUT. JIM: OUT OF HIS HANDS WHEN HE GETS TO HIS BACK. TONY: RIGHT THERE, THAT'S THE TOUGHEST PART. GENE: IF CHASE FIRMLY POSES THAT FOOTBALL INITIALLY, THEN THE MOVEMENT OF THE BALL BECOMES LESS IMPORTANT, RIGHT? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T APPEAR IN MY OPINION TO HAVE FIRM CONTROL OF THAT FOOTBALL ON THE FRONT END. HE HAS TO CONTROL THAT BALL. THE BALL CONTINUOUSLY MOVES THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS AND MAY RETURN THIS AS INCOMPLETE. TONY: FOUR-POINT PLAY RIGHT HERE. RIGHT HERE, IT'S A TOUCHDOWN. HE MOVES IT. DOES HE CONTROL IT? RIGHT THERE. GENE, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. REFEREE: AFTER REVIEW, THE RECEIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE BALL. IT IS AN INCOMPLETE PASS. THE BALL WAS IN PLACE AT THE 10-YARD LINE. PLEASE RESET THE GAME CLOCK AT 1:52. JIM: MILANO NEVER GAVE UP ON THE PLAY. TONY: GET READY TO PAUSE IT RIGHT THERE. AT THAT POINT, HE IS GOING TO CREATE POSSESSION AGAIN BUT HIS FEET ARE RIGHT OUT, BUT BY THE TIME HE DOES THAT, GOOD CALL, GENE. JIM: THEY HAVE TO GO FIELD GOAL INSTEAD WITH MCPHERSON. 15-15 IN HIS POST-SEASON CAREER. SECOND YEAR. WON GAMES AGAINST TENNESSEE. THIS FROM 28. HIS KICK IS GOOD. SURE LOOKED LIKE TOUCHDOWN. TONY: I THOUGHT I JIM: THE NFL ON CBS IS SPONSORED BY AMAZON, SPEND LESS, SMILE MORE. GEICO, SWITCH TODAY AND SEE ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN SAVE. AND BY CHEVROLET, FIND NEW ROADS. WELL, NOW, THE BILLS HAVE A CHANCE FOR BACK-TO-BACK POSSESSIONS. 1:49 TO GO IN THE FIRST HALF. THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE IN THE SEASON IN THE LAST 2:00 IN THE FIRST HALF AND BEGINNING THE THIRD QUARTER KICK. TONY: ALMOST ALL THESE PLAYOFFS GAMES COME DOWN TO 2:00 END OF HALF, END OF GAME SITUATIONS. JIM: HINES. TO ABOUT THE 21-YARD LINE. BACK WITH TONY AND GENE. GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN THE BOTH. AND KEEPING YOU BUSY, YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS THE RIGHT CALL? >> I DID, CHASE DIDN'T SECURE IT ON THE FRONT END TO THEN LET THAT MOVEMENT. TONY: I'M NOT SURE IF YOU ARE A BENGAL FAN, YOU THINK THAT IS THE RIGHT CALL. GENE: HALF OF THE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOUR CALL. JIM: I WOULD SAY NO MORE THAN HALF THE CREW LIKES YOU. GENE: I APPRECIATE THAT. JIM: HERE'S KNOX. FIVE YARDS, PASS PLAY WITH KNOX. TONY: TROUBLESOME FOR CINCINNATI, THE EXPLOSIVENESS, JOSH ALLEN IS YEARS IN THE LEAGUE AND KNOWS HOW TO GET THE SPHUF AND CAN CREATE BIG PLAYS. JIM: SECOND AND 5 AND DEFLECTED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. WE HAVE "VERIZON HALFTIME REPORT" COMING UP. HERE'S BENGAL LEGEND RIGHT THERE. LEFT HAND WILL TAKE THE CINCINNATI BENGALS TO THE SUPER BOWL. BOOMER AND J.B., PHIL, NATE AND COACH COWHER. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FIRST HALF. TRYING NOT TO GIVE THE FOOTBALL RIGHT BACK TO CINCINNATI. TONY: THIS IS A MONSTER PLAY RIGHT HERE. I WOULD COME AFTER HIM. JIM: COMPLETE, FOR THE FIRST. TONY: IF YOU ARE BUFFALO, DOWN 10 AND HAVE TO PUNT THAT BACK, YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THAT CINCINNATI IS GOING TO GO DOWN AND SCORE. THIS WAS A HUGE PLAY AND HE GOES TO KNOX, WHO HAS HAD A GREAT RUN YEAR, SIX, SEVEN YEARS IN A ROW. JIM: IT'S FIVE. YOU HAVE A SNEAK PREVIEW. BUT FIVE IN A ROW, WHICH IS A BILLS' TEAM RECORD. LOOK AT THAT CATCH! HERE'S YOUR BIG GAME DAY! TONY: RIGHT THERE, APPLE. GREAT WEEK OF PRACTICE. THAT BALL CAN ONLY BE IN ONE SPOT AND JOSH ALLEN CAN MAKE CERTAIN THROWS THAT CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE CAN MAKE. JIM: SIX TOTAL. LONGEST PLAY OF THE GAME. AND ANOTHER DEFLECTION. AND GET A HAND ON IT. TONY: TEAMS ARE COMING -- IT'S A TIPPED BALL. BUT MIAMI CAME AFTER BUFFALO AND GAVE UP SOME STUFF BUT HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS. THAT'S RARE FOR A GREAT QUARTERBACK TO SEE THAT MUCH PRESSURE. JIM: WILSON KNOCKED THE BALL OUT OF THE HANS. AND NEAR 100-YARD RUNBACK. SECOND AND 10. LITTLE SIDE-ARM SLING AND THAT WAS IN THE AIR. OFF THE HANDS OF SINGLETARY. AND WITH THE FIELD LIKE THIS, THIRD AND 10 ON THE WAY, JAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK? JAY: THEY NEED MORE YARDS. GET TO ABOUT THE 35. SIX MORE YARDS TO BE ON THE EDGE OF FIELD-GOAL RANGE. WHEN CONDITIONS ARE LIKE THIS, YOU CAN'T BE AGGRESSIVE THROUGH THE BALL. YOU HAVE TO BE SMOOTH THROUGH IT, WHICH IS GOING TO NEGATE SOME OF YOUR DISTANCE. JIM: THIS STADIUM OPENED IN 1973. BACK IN THE DAY, ONE 50-YARD FIELD GOAL PLUS IN POST-SEASON HISTORY. THIRD AND 10. GOING TO THROW ON THE RUN, TOWARD THE END ZONE. AND INCOMPLETE. DIGGS WAS DOWN THERE. TONY: THIS WILL BE A HOLD ON THE BILLS, WHICH MEANS -- REFEREE: PENALTY IS DECLINED AND RESULT OF THE PLAY, FOURTH DOWN. TONY: MIGHT GO FOR IT ON FOURTH AND 10 BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO FAR TO KICK THE FIELD GOAL. THIRD AND 20. DO YOU PUNT? TOUGH CALL. JIM: THEY BRING OUT SAM MARTIN AND FANS WANT HIM TO GO FOR IT. TONY: THIS IS PROBABLY THE RIGHT CALL. I'M TEMPTED TO LINE UP AND AT LEAST SEE WHAT COVERAGE AND DRAW HIM OFFSIDES AND TRY AND GET FIVE YARDS. JIM: HERE HE COMES. END-OVER-END. THE BENGALS WILL HAVE TWO TIME-OUTS. AND FAIR CATCH MADE BY TAYLOR. WILL GET THE BALL BACK. 40 SECONDS TO JIM: ON THE THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE SUPER BOWL PLAYERS WILL BE RECOGNIZED. TURN IN FOR NFL HONORS ON NBC AND NFL NETWORK. WHAT DO YOU DO HERE? HOW AGGRESSIVE DO YOU GO? TONY: YOU HAVE TO BE SAFE AGGRESSIVE. YOU CAN DRAW. YOU HAVE TO GET A FIRST DOWN. IF YOU DON'T, YOU ARE GIVING POINTS TO BUFFALO. JIM: SETS UP THE SCREEN TO PERINE. HE RUNS INTO HIS LINEMAN. HE COLLIDED WITH SCHARPING AND WENT OUT OF BOUNDS TO STOP THE CLOCK. TONY: IT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN. PERFECT PLAY CALL. BUFFALO COULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THAT ONE. YOU KNOW HOW WE SPY A QUARTERBACK? YOU EXPECT A SCREEN. WE ARE SPYING THE SCREEN. D-LINEMAN IS GOING TO GRAB THAT RUNNING BACK. JIM: FIRST DOWN, 30 SECONDS. ANOTHER SCREEN. AND TACKLED AFTER A GAIN OF ABOUT 5. CLOCK STOPS. TIME-OUT CALLED BY THE BENGALS. TONY: THAT FIRST FIRST DOWN WHERE YOU COULD TAKE THIS DOWN. I DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY WANT TO THROW TWO INCOMPLETIONS. THE LIKELIHOOD OF YOU GETTING POINTS IS LESS LIKELY THAN TWO INCOMPLETE PASSES. ALMOST ONE OF THOSE WHERE LET'S GET A DRAW AND DO ONE MORE AND AS SOON AS WE GET A FIRST DOWN, WE TAKE A TIME-OUT AND GET VERY AGGRESSIVE. JIM: MORE YARDAGE THAN THEY HAD AGAINST THE RAVENS LAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND GAVE THEM 51 YARDS ON THE GROUND. CINCINNATI IS 69 TODAY. TONY: GET AGGRESSIVE. THROWING A SLANT. THIS IS YOUR BEST CHANCE TO GET A SOFT ZONE AND GET SOMETHING DOWN THE FIELD. JIM: BURROW, FLICKS IT. PERINE WITH THE FIRST DOWN. AND ANOTHER TIME-OUT CALLED. AND THAT'S IT FOR CINCINNATI. TONY: BURROW'S EYES CREATING HAVOC FOR BUFFALO AND ZAC TAYLOR HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND THE PATIENCE OF MIKE BROWN ALLOWING THEM TO SEE WHAT HIS VISION HAS BEEN FOR THIS FOOTBALL TEAM AND NOW BUILT HIMSELF A JUGGERNAUT THAT IS WITH BUFFALO AND KANSAS CITY TO COME. JIM: TAIL OIRL WALKED OUT AND WE BOTH SAID QUIET CONFIDENCE. TONY: I GOT TO SEE IT A LITTLE MORE. I HAVE SEEN IT WITH BUFFALO. BURROW, ZAC TAYLOR, CHASE. I'M SO IMPRESSED WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. JIM: THIS IS GOING TO BE BURROW TAKING OFF AND THEY DON'T HAVE A TIME-OUT. AND THAT PROBABLY -- TONY: TRY TO GET IT WITH 5-4. YOU THROW A HAIL MARY. AND NOW YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE HAIL MARY SHOT. THAT FOUR OR FIVE SECONDS IS HUGE BECAUSE YOU COULD THROW ANOTHER 5-8-YARD OUT QUICKLY. JIM: COUPLE OF GOOD RECEIVERS TO GO FOR THE HAIL MARY WHEN YOU HAVE HIGGINS. WE WERE TALKING TO HIM ABOUT WHAT WE CALL 50-50 BALLS. HE SAID NO, THOSE ARE 80-20'S. TONY: SOMETIMES, IF THERE WERE SIX SECONDS HERE, YOU COULD THROW TO THE SIDELINE. THIS SHOULD BE A HAIL MARY. JIM: LOOK WHO IS RUNNING BACK AND DAVIS IS STANDING EIGHT YARDS DEEP IN THE END ZONE. TONY: REMEMBER THE GRONK ONE BACK IN THE DAY? THAT WAS FOR A KICKOFF RETURN. JIM: FOUR DEFENDERS AND THE FIFTH, GABE, STANDING AT THE GOAL LINE AND THEY HAVE HE RESET THE PLAY CLOCK. TONY: GOOD VISION ON THE BALL. HARD PART IS GETTING IT OFF. JIM: GOOD GOT AWAY FROM THE RUSH AND ABLE TO LAUNCH IT DEEP. AND DAVIS -- TAKEN TAKEN HAD AN EASY PICK AND BIG-GAME GABE IS BETTER. JIM: WHEN HE IS ON OFFENSE. THAT'S THE END OF THE FIRST HALF, SCORE, CINCINNATI, 17 AND BUFFALO 7. "THE VERIZON HALFTIME REPORT" IS UP NEXT. JIM: 17 FIVE 7 AND LET'S LOOK AT GAME DAY HIGHLIGHTS PRESENTED BY PEPSI. BURROW FOUND CHASE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. TONY: I MEAN THAT'S AS GOOD A START AS YOU COULD HAVE, USING YOUR LEGS, BUYING TIME. THAT'S WHAT HE HAS DONE TODAY. RIGHT NOW, THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT. GOING INTO THIS GAME FELT IT WAS REALLY EVEN. CINCINNATI'S THREE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN BEING DOWN. BUT THE D-LINE OF CINCINNATI HASDOM FAITHED. THAT APPROACH, SWITCHING UP THE DEFENSE, PLAYING THREE-MAN RUSH, FOUR-MAN, AND BLITZING AND ALLEN IS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. BUT I THINK THEY ARE MORE PHYSICAL. CINCINNATI RIGHT NOW IS WINNING UP FRONT IN THE TRENCHES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL AND THAT IS CONCERNING BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T NORMALLY CHANGE IN THE SECOND HALF IN MY EXPERIENCE. JIM: HINES FIELDING AT THE 5. NOT ALLOWING A BIG RETURN. THREE YARDS SHORT. TRACY, DOWN TO YOU. TRACY: I TALKED TO MCDERMOTT AND HE SAID WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING GOOD ENOUGH RIGHT NOW. HE SAID DEFENSIVELY, WE NEED TOTAL AFFECT THE RHYTHM OF THIS OFFENSE AND PRESSURE ON JOE BURROW AND OFFENSIVELY THEY NEED TO GET IN THEIR OWN RHYTHM. HE WENT INTO THE LOCKER ROOM AND HAD WORDS FOR THE TEAM AND SEE IF IT PROVIDES A SPARK. JIM: DID HAVE ONE DRIVE IN THE FIRST HALF. AND ONE SCORE AT HALF. TONY: JOSH HAD TO THROW THAT ONE BALL TO DAVIS TO A SPOT THAT IS INHUMAN. JIM: BURROW THOUGHT HE HAD A THIRD TOUCHDOWN AND COMPLETES 66%. 186 YARDS IN THESE CONDITIONS. TONY: YOU HAVE TO RUN THE FOOTBALL. THEY ARE GETTING INTO THE RIGHT PLAY. IF HE WANTS TO COME IN THERE, THROW IT OUT HERE. JIM: TRYING TO GET DIGGS INVOLVED. AND WILL GIVE HIM THE FIRST. TONY: YOU HAVE TO GET BACK. YOU HAVE TO RUN A LITTLE BIT. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS TEAM, CINCINNATI, AT LEAST RESPECT IT A LITTLE BIT. JIM: DIGGS HAD A QUIET LAST YEAR IN LAST YEAR'S DIVISIONAL GAME. THAT IS SINGLETARY. GOING DOWN WITH A FIGHT. GAIN OF 6. TONY: THAT RUN RIGHT THERE TAKES PRESSURE OFF THE QUARTERBACK AND COORDINATOR. DORSEY DOESN'T HAVE TO CALL A PERFECT PLAY. I FEEL RIGHT NOW THEY ARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT. KEN DORSEY HAD A GREAT YEAR AND TALK ABOUT JOSH ALLEN AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR. THIS IS IDENTICAL. SAME COMPLETION PERCENTAGE. IT'S NUTS. JIM: SINGLETARY. FIRST DOWN. AND THERE TO CONNECT AND MAKES YOU HAPPY TO SEE. DORSEY, WHO YESTERDAY HAD A BRIEF INTERVIEW WITH THE CAROLINA HEAD COACHING POSITION ON THE LINE. TONY: CALLAHAN ON THE OTHER SIDE. THEY ARE ACCUSTOMED. THAT WAS DORSEY'S FIRST ONE. BUT HE KNOWS HE HAS A SPECIAL POSITION HERE AS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR BUFFALO. THAT'S HIS GIFT IS TO THROW IT AND MAKE ANY THROW THERE IS. AND KEEP WINNING EVEN IF THEY TURN IT OVER AND THAT'S THE GIFT OF THIS TEAM. IT WAS JUST ABOUT NEVER MAKING A TURNOVER AND PROTECT THE BALL AND TAKE A SACK. THESE GUYS ARE PLAYMAKERS. BUT YOU HAVE TO THROTTLE IT BACK AND ALLOW HIS TEAM NOT BE PUT IN A BAD SPOT. JIM: NO TURNOVERS IN THIS GAME FROM EITHER SIDE. TONY: IF YOU SAID JOSH ALLEN NEVER HAD A TURNOVER IN THE THIRD QUARTER, NO. YOU STILL HAVE TO TRUST PLAYS. JIM: ON FIRST DOWN. PRESSURE FROM HILL. IT GETS AWAY AND IT'S SHAKIR AND BRITT TAYLOR. GAIN OF 17 AND BILLS ARE DRIVING TO OPEN UP THE THIRD. TONY: SUPERMAN IS GOING TO SHOW UP. HILL DOES HAVE HIM AND HE DOES CREATE SPACE. SHAKIR IS GOING TO HAVE A HUGE ROLE ON THIS TEAM NEXT YEAR. NEXT YEAR, WATCH OUT. JIM: LEADING THE TEAM IN RECEIVING YARDS, 40, ON TWO CATCHES. FIRST DOWN FROM THE 31. ALLEN, LOOKING DOWNFIELD. HE IS GOING TO TAKE IT. BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME AT HOME THAT BUFFALO HAS TRAILED AT HALFTIME THIS SEASON. ONLY LOST THE ONE GAME AND CRAZY, WHACKY AND WONDERFUL GAME AGAINST THE VIKINGS. SO MANY PLOTS AT THE END. CIRCUS CATCHES AND FUMBLES AT THE GOAL LINE AND NEVER ENDED WITHOUT ONE PLAY USURPING THE NEXT. MCDEMPLET IS HAPPY RUNNING THE -- MCDERMOTT IS HAPPY SEEING HIS TEAM RUNNING THE FOOTBALL. SECOND AND 8. ESCAPED TWO TACKLERS AND TWO MORE. AND GETS TO WITHIN THREE YARDS OF THE FIRST. HE BROKE SOME TACKLES. TONY: TWO DIFFERENT QUARTERBACKS. ONE HIGHLY EMOTIONAL, ALLEN. HE WANTS TO PUT THE TEAM ON HIS BACK AND RIGHT HERE HE IS GOING TO WILL HIS TEAM THIS WAY. AND OTHER TEAM, IMPER VIAOUS. AND THEY ARE CORRECT IN PLAYING THEIR FOOTBALL CAREER. JOSH ALLEN HAS TO TAKE OVER THIS GAME WITH HIS LEGS AND MIND. USE HIS LEGS, HAND THE BALL OFF, SIMPLE STUFF. JIM: THIRD AND 2 AND STRETCHES OUT THE ARM AND HE'S GOT THE FIRST DOWN. TONY: GREAT PLAY CALL. MAKE IT EASY FOR HIM. USE HIS LEGS, HAND IT OFF. SUPERMAN WILL TAKE OVER AT SOME POINT. AND THAT IS THAT TIME WHEN THIS DRIVE IS EVERYTHING. JIM: BATES WHO JAWED AT ONE ANOTHER AFTER THE BILLS HAD A TOUCHDOWN AND BATES TRIED TO CUT OFF THE ANGLE AND ALLEN ABLE TO GET THERE AND EXTEND THIS DRIVE. TONY: CINCINNATI HAS MADE EVERYTHING DIFFICULT ON BUFFALO. EVEN THIS DRIVE. IT STILL FEELS DIFFICULT, DOESN'T IT? JIM: THEY ARE TRYING TO STRIKE GOLD. AND IT'S INCOMPLETE. THAT WAS APPLE ON THE COVERAGE. DIGGS. TONY: APPLE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BITE ON DOUBLE MOVES. LAST WEEK HE DID. THIS WEEK, THEY GOT HIM BUT THE BALL JUST BARELY OUT WIDE. PERFECTLY-THROWN BALL BUT OUT WIDE. YOU NEED TO GET UP A TOUCH EARLIER. JIM: HARD FALL AND HE WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO HELP UP THE UNSUSPECTINGby NFL Productions for the private

ALLEN, AGAIN, AND ON HIM QUICKLY. WHAT A CATCH. OH, THAT WAS SOME CATCH BY PAUL BEASLEY. AND THAT'S A FIRST DOWN. GOES FOR 12. TONY: ANARUMO. WATCH, RIGHT HERE. PERFECTLY TIMED PRESSURE. ALLEN DOESN'T SEE 23 COMING AROUND THE CORNER. AND FLOWERS IS A LITTLE BANGED UP. BUT RIGHT THERE IS A HUGE PLAY. ALL JOSH ALLEN AND ABILITY TO EXTEND THE PLAY. JIM: FIRST AND GOAL, JUST NINE YARDS AWAY. COOK. IT'S NOT THERE. AND THAT WAS THE PLAY AND BROUGHT IT TO A HALT. AND DIGGS WASN'T IN THE TENT FOR VERY LONG. TIME TO PUT ON THE GLOVES AND GET BACK TO THE HUDDLE. BUFFALO HAD A GREAT STRETCH, RED ZONE-OPPORTUNITIES 13-14 HAVE GONE FOR RED ZONE. SPECIAL TEAMS. WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN FOR WHAT HE DID. SECOND AND GOAL. ALLEN. GIVE IT TO HINES. NOT MUCH TO GAIN THERE, AS BELL CLOSES IN ON HIM. TONY: ANARUMO GETTING HIS PLAYERS TO KNOW THEIR LEVERAGING. BEST TACKLING TEAM IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. THERE HE IS. THAT GUY -- THERE IS MULTIPLE GUYS IN THIS LEAGUE. HE SHOULD BE RIGHT UP THERE WHAT HE DID. SAME WITH FRAZIER. JIM: THIRD AND GOAL. KNOX HAS BEEN TOUGH. DO THEY GO TO HIM? THEY DID TRY TO, AND THE PASS IS INCOMPLETE. HILL, WITH THE EXCELLENT COVERAGE. TONY: FLOWERS, NUMBER 33, WASN'T ABLE TO PLAY THROUGH INJURY AND HE IS BANGED UP AND HAS HAD TO COME IN. HE IS QUICKER AND FASTER AND HE DOES USE LEVERAGING. JIM: HIGH TOUCHDOWN CONVERSION RATE AND GO FIELD GOAL AND BRING IT BACK TO A ONE-SCORE GAME. BASS. 25R YARDS. AND THE THREE. MAKES IT A 17-10 GAME. THAT TOOK AGAIN THE SECOND TIME THEY DROVE FOR JIM: THE NFL ON CBS IS SPONSORED BY INTUIT TURBO TAX. COORS LIGHT, MADE TO CHILL. AND BY T-MOBILE WITH PRICE LOCK GUARANTEE. T-MOBILE WON'T RAISE YOUR RATE EVER. IT'S BEEN FLURRIES, SNOWSHOWERS THROUGHOUT WITH AGAIN LIGHT WINDS. THAT'S IT. AND NOW WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE THE BENGALS POSSESS THE FOOTBALL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SECOND HALF AS THE BILLS WENT 7:18 LEADING TO A FAST FIELD GOAL.

JIM: NEXT SUNDAY, THE NFL ON CBS IS EXCITED TO BRING YOU THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY INTUIT TURBO TAX. THE WINNER OF THIS GAME TO TAKE ON THE CHIEFS. 6:00 EASTERN WITH THE "THE NFL TODAY" NEXT SUNDAY ON CBS. HERE'S MIXON. FOR ABOUT FOUR YARDS. IF CINCINNATI WINS THIS GAME, THE BENGALS WILL GO BACK TO K.C. FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR FOR THE LAMONT TROPHY. IF IT'S BUFFALO, BUFFALO AND KANSAS CITY AT THE NEUTRAL SITE IN ATLANTA. TONY: EVERYONE SENSED WHEN MAHOMES GOT INJURED -- JIM: BURROW WITH ROUSSEAU, NOT ABLE TO MAKE MUCH GROUND AND SOMETHING JOE DOESN'T DO THAT OFTEN. AND PICKED UP A FIRST DOWN. TONY: PERFECT WITH IT. THIS IS SHOCKING. LIKE I TALKED ABOUT THE DEFENSIVE AND OFFENSIVE LINES OF THE BENGALS ARE IMPOSING AND IMPOSING THEIR WILL ON A BUFFALO TEAM THAT IS USED TO IMPOSING THEIR WILL ON OPPONENTS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR THE BILLS TO COME BACK. THEY NEED THE TIP OF A BALL AND GO SOMETHING THEIR WAY. BURROW IS WAY TOO MUCH TIME AND CAN RUN THE BALL AS WELL. JIM: CHASE. AND HE MAKES SOMETHING HAPPENS FOR 12 AND A FIRST DOWN. TRACY: SINGLETARY HAS DEALT WITH SO MANY INJURIES AND MARLOWE HAS BEEN RULED OUT WITH A GROIN INJURY. JIM: MARLOWE HAS BEEN STARTING AT THE POSITION THAT HAS BEEN MANNED BY DAMAR HAMLIN AND NECK INJURY FOR HIM. AND JOHNSON IS IN THERE. FIRST AND 10. AND WHAT A CATCH. THAT WAS SOME FINGER TIP GRAB BY HIGGINS AND RIGHT BACK FOR CINCINNATI MOVING THE BALL AGAIN. TONY: 50-50-BALL AGAIN. AND HIGGINS CALLS IT 80-20. JUST SIMPLE FOOTBALL. THIS IS PEYTON MANNING FOOTBALL. TWO-BY-TWO. JIM: HE GOT HIT LOW. TONY: OH, BOY. JIM: BURROW TRYING TO WALK IT OFF. TONY: THAT'S WHERE THE SNOW MIGHT HELP YOU A LITTLE BIT IF YOU ACTUALLY SLIDE OUT. JIM: FEET WEREN'T PLANTED. TONY: IT'S NOT A PENALTY. OFFENSE PUSHES YOU. JIM: SECOND AND 10. THAT IS DROPPED. THAT WAS IRWIN WHO HAD A CATCH IN THE FIRST HALF. TONY: HERE WE GO, THIS IS A BIG THIRD DOWN. SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY THROW CATCH. AND WHEN I SAY, THIS IS A PEYTON MANNING-TYPE OFFENSE. I MEAN THAT. THEY LINE UP, PUT THE RUNNING BACK BEHIND YOU. AND HE GETS TO THE RIGHT PLAY AND YOU SEE TWO GUYS, ONE, TWO, AND TWO ON THE OTHER SIDE. TWO-BY-TWO. AND BURROW SEES WHAT THEY ARE IN AND GETS TO THE RIGHT PLAY AND RUNS THESE SIMPLE CONCEPTS. TAYLOR AND CALLAHAN, BURROW HAS PEYTON MANNING TENDENCIES. BUT THE TRUTH IS, IT'S HARD TO DEFEND BECAUSE HE GETS THROUGH PROGRESSIONS VERY FAST AND GETS TO THE RIGHT COVERAGE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. JIM: TIME-OUT CALLED BY BUFFALO BEFORE THIS THIRD AND 10. PRO BALL GAMES ARE HEADED BACK TO VEGAS AND MANNING BROTHERS LEAD AND NEW SKILL CHALLENGES IN THE FIRST FLAG FOOTBALL GAME OR ESPN. PEYTON WAS HERE TODAY TAKING IN THE GAME. MADE A VISIT TO THE FIELD AND SAID HELLO TO THE FOLKS. THIRD AND 10. HAD PLENTY OF TIME. AND HURST LEAPS FOR THE FIRST DOWN. WHAT A PLAY BY HURST. HE WENT RIGHT OVER JOHNSON WHO CAME IN FOR MARLOWE. TONY: THIS IS JUST AN INCREDIBLE PLAY. GREAT VIEW RIGHT HERE. BURROW KEEPING HIS EYES DOWNFIELD AND HURST JUMPING OVER JOHNSON. THEY JUST HAVE TOO MUCH TALENT. EASIER FOR THE BENGALS. THIRD AND WHAT AND -- JIM: THEY HAD TIME TO THROW. TONY: ONLY REASON THAT IS WIDE OPEN, CREATES MORE SPACE. JIM: IT'S MIXON GETTING 9 OUT OF THAT. HE RUSHED FOR 59 YARDS IN THE FIRST HALF. TONY: THESE GUYS ARE IMPOSING THEIR WILL. CINCINNATI JUST MOVED BUFFALO'S DEFENDERS. LOOK AT THESE HOLES AND JUST EVERYONE IS 5, 8 YARDS DOWNFIELD. I'M CONCERNED IF I'M A BILL FAN RIGHT NOW. JIM: SECOND AND 2. BURROW TRIES TO SNEAK FROM TWO YARDS OUT. AND LET'S SEE WHERE THEY MARK IT. WE GOT TWO SIDELINESMEN WHO HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS OF IT. FIRST DOWN. THEY ARE MOVING THE CHAINS. THAT ANGLE LOOKED LIKE -- WELL, GENE, MAYBE A LITTLE SHORT. GENE: IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE HE IS A LITTLE BIT SHORT WHERE HE LANDS. IT APPEARS TO ME WHERE THAT LANDS, IT'S FIRST DOWN. TONY: ASKING THEM TO RESET THE SHOT CLOCK. 18, 17 AND DO THIS ON THIRD AND SHORT. JIM: THEY DID SIGNAL FOR THE FIRST DOWN AND CAME BACK AND MOVED IT BACK. TONY: WHAT HAPPENED TO MIKE MCDANIEL AND HEARD IT WAS A FIRST DOWN AND LOST IT ON DELAY OF GAME. JIM: MIXON HAS IT NOW AND INSIDE THE 10 AND DOWN TO THE 5. THAT WAS SOME BLOCK BY THE LEFT TACKLE. GOT TO GIVE HIM. TONY: LOOK AT YOUR BEST PLAYER, CHASE JUST BLOCKING. JIM: 13-YARD RUN TO THE OUTSIDE ON THIRD AND INCHES. AND NOW THEY GOT A FIRST AND GOAL. TONY: CHASE SEALED THE EDGE AND CARMEN CAME OUT AND THIS IS CINCINNATI BALL CLUB. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE NOT QUITE AS BIG. JIM: BURROW'S PASS AND HAD PRESSURE TO UNLOAD IT QUICKLY AND WE DO HAVE A MARKER OUT. REFEREE: PASS INTERFERENCE NUMBER 27, DEFENSE. THE FOUL OCCURRED AT THE 1-YARD LINE. THAT'S WHERE THE BALL WILL BE PLACED. FIRST DOWN. TONY: IRWIN GOING AGAINST WHITE. AND HE GRABS HIM, YOU SEE IT AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN RIGHT THERE. IT'S SUBTLE, CAN'T HOLD BOTH ARMS AROUND HIM. YEAH, THAT'S GOING TO GET CALLED EVERY TIME. IRWIN STEPPED AWAY. AND NUMBER TWO DEFENSE. THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD. JIM: MIXON, THE RUNNING BACK, ONE RUSH TOUCHDOWN. MIXON. AND STILL DRIVING. LOOK AT THAT EFFORT. HE NEVER GOT THE BALL ACROSS. GOT THE FEET INTO THE END ZONE, BUT THAT WON'T GET YOU SIX. AND THEY ARE ABLE TO STOP HIM ON THIS PLAY. SECOND AND ABOUT HALF A YARD AWAY. TONY: ONE OF THE BEST JOBS BY BUFFALO, PUSHING THAT LINE OF SCRIMMAGE WITH JUST THE FINISH RIGHT NOW BY MIXON ALLOWS THEM TO GET BACK INTO AN ADVANTAGEOUS SITUATION. THE D-LINEMEN HAVE A TOUGHER TIME. WHEN IT'S SLIPPERY OUT THERE, IT IS TOUGHER FOR THEM TO GET OFF. THERE WILL BE A TIME-OUT. 12 MEN ON THE FIELD. GENE: YOU HAVE THE DEFENSE LINED UP AND THE BALL IS IMMINENT AND THE SNAP IS IMMINENT. A DEAD-BALL FOUL. TONY: IF THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT. JIM: EXTRA DOWN. AND BILLS PLAYER ACROSS. REFEREE: ENCROACHMENT, NUMBER 97, DEFENSE, HALF THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL. SECOND DOWN. TONY: THEY SAY FIRST DOWN. I THINK THEY GOT IT WRONG. IT'S SECOND DOWN. I SAW THE SAME THING YOU DID. WHY ARE THEY GIVING THEM THE FIRST DOWN. YOU GOT INCH DANCES JUST QUARTERBACK SNEAK IT. JUST DON'T PUT THE BALL OVER ACROSS UNLESS IT'S A FOURTH DOWN. DON'T DO IT IN FIRST AND SECOND AND THIRD. DIVISIONAL OPPONENTS ARE ALWAYS DIFFICULT AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR CINCINNATI LAST WEEK. JIM: SECOND AND GOAL. TONY: TENDENCY ON UNBALANCED LINE. JIM: GOING TO GIVE IT UP, GIVE IT UP. MIXON. STILL WAITING FOR A SIGNAL. NO ARMS WERE RAISED. TONY: THIS IS ALL MIKE MILANO. SORRY, MILANO. JIM: MIXON THINKS HE HAS A TOUCHDOWN. TONY: MILANO COMES RIGHT THERE. AND ARGH, REALLY CLOSE. JIM: LOOKS LIKE A TOUCHDOWN FOR ME. TONY: THIS IS THE VIEW RIGHT THERE. JIM: IT'S A CHALLENGE I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO WIN THERE. GENE: LOOKS LIKE MIXON'S KNEES WERE -- REFEREE: CINCINNATI IS CHALLENGING THE RULING ON THE FIELD. GENE: THAT'S WHERE I WAS GOING TO GO AND YOU HAVE TO SEE THE FOOTBALL. TONY: JUST BECAUSE THE KNEES ARE CROSSED. IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSE. JIM: LOOKS LIKE. JIM: THEY HAVE OVERTURNED THE RULING ON THE FIELD. IT IS A TOUCHDOWN. MIXON BROKE THE PLANE. TONY: IT IS THE CORRECT CALL AND RIGHT HERE, THIS IS THE VIEW. YOU SEE THAT KNEE DOWN RIGHT THERE. OK, THAT'S NOT ENOUGH AND ON THIS ONE, THE BALL, IF THE KNEE IS THERE, YOU SEE HIS UPPER BODY AND GETS PULLED BACK. THAT IS A TOUCHDOWN AND CINCINNATI IS UP 14, POSSIBLY GOING INTO THE FOURTH IN BUFFALO. JIM: 6:25 DRIVE. EXTRA POINT IS GOOD. BACK ON WEEK 9, MIXON HAD FIVE TOUCHDOWNS AND MISSED A COUPLE OF GAMES BECAUSE OF A CONCUSSION THERE WAS, ALSO ON THAT TOUCHDOWN, DID THEY GET THE PLAYOFF IN TIME. LOOK AT THE PLAY CLOCK HERE? GENE: THAT IS THE SEQUENCE WHEN THE BACK JUDGE IS REACHING THE PLAY CLOCK IT GOES FROM THAT AND SNAP HAPPENS AND THEY PASS ON IT AND WE SEE ZEROS, THAT'S THE MECHANIC THAT THE OFFICIALS USE. TONY: YOU CAN'T BE LOOKING AT TWO THINGS AT ONCE WHEN HE IS LOOKING AT IT, YOUR EYES HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH AND IT'S NOT LIKE BIBL. GOT TO GO THROUGH THAT PROGRESSION. IF YOU DON'T LOOK AND SEE ONE. YOU WAIT FOR THE ZERO. JIM: SEVEN FIRST DOWNS TAKING IT DOWN THE FIELD. TONY: CINCINNATI WAS THE WORST RUSHING TEAM FOR FOUR, FIVE WEEKS. JIM: 126 TODAY ON THE GROUND AS HINES JUST PASSED THE 30. GOT A FLAG ON THE RETURN. TONY: TO MY POINT, THOUGH, WHY DO YOU RUN THE BALL MORE? REFEREE: HOLDING, NUMBER 85, RETURN TEAM, 10-YARD PENALTY. FIRST DOWN. JIM: COMING UP ON CBS SPORTS FRIDAY, 5:00 EASTERN, TORREY PINES FOR THE FARMERS INSURANCE OPEN AND ON SATURDAY, COLLEGE HOOPS, DOUBLE HEADER FOLLOWED BY LIVE TOUR COVERAGE, LIVE FINAL ROUND 4:30 EASTERN TIME INTO THE EVENING, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. JUSTIN THOMAS, RAHM. STRONG FIELD FROM OUR SEASON PREMIER OF THE P.G.A. TOUR THAT'S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ON CBS. TONY: TO SHUT THE RUN DOWN, YOU HAVE TO SHUT IT DOWN EARLY. CREATING BALANCE IF YOU SHUT IT DOWN EARLY. BUFFALO DID NOT DO IT. JIM: INCOMPLETION TO DIGGS. TONY: CINCINNATI'S ABILITY TO RUN THAT EARLY. AND MIXON GETS 14 ATTEMPTS FOR 80 YARDS. PERINE, TWO. AND THIS BALL IS BARELY OVERTHROWN. LITTLE HIGHER ANGLE. JIM: BILLS HAVE BEEN HELD TO 200 YARDS OF OFFENSE AS WE HAVE 1:00 TO GO IN THE THIRD QUARTER. TONY: JOSH ALLEN UNDEFEATED IN THE PLAYOFFS. THIS IS A TALL TASK. JIM: LOOK AT MACKENZIE, ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM WILSON WHO WAS A TEAMMATE AT WYOMING. A GAIN OF NINE, MAYBE 8. JIM: CALLS WILSON THE GOVERNOR. GREAT RESPECT. IT'S THIRD AND 2. TONY: GUARDED A WIDE RECEIVER REALLY WELL. OUTSTANDING ALL YEAR AND GOING TO DO IT. SPY ON ALLEN A BUNCH. JIM: THAT BALL KNOCKED OUT OF THE HANDS OF DAVIS. THAT WAS SOME PLAY BY TAYLOR BRITT. TONY: SECOND-ROUND PICK THIS YEAR. THIS IS POSSIBLY SAME-SAVING PLAY. THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DROP. THAT BALL IS PERFECTLY THROWN. MIGHT HAVE TIPPED HIS FINGER FOR A SECOND. GOOD FORM AT THE END BY TAYLOR BRITT. MONSTER PLAY. JIM: VERY QUICK WORK. AND THAT MEANS THEY HAVE TO PUNT AGAIN. NOW TO GET THE BALL BACK IN THE CLOSING SECONDS OF QUARTER THREE. PUNT DISAPPEARS INTO THE SNOW. AND ABOUT THE 40. TONY: SEEN ENOUGH GAMES AND WE WERE TALKING AT HALFTIME WHEN THE OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE LINE DOMINATES. IT'S HARD TO COME BACK AND BUFFALO TRIED TO OPEN AND GET THREE POINTS. BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO MAKE A PLAY. SOMETHING THAT IS OVERTHROWN, A TIPPED BALL. AND THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY WAY I SEE BUFFALO COMING BACK TO WIN THIS BECAUSE CINCINNATI IS DOMINATING UP FRONT. JIM: BURROW WILL TAKE THE SHORT ROUTE WHO HIGH STEPS IT TO CLOSE OUT THE QUARTER. WELL, BILLS PUT UP A FIELD GOAL TO START THE QUARTER BUT THEN CINCINNATI CAME BACK WITH A TOUCHDOWN DRIVE. UP 14 HEADING JIM: HIGHMARK STADIUM HERE IN ORCHARD PARK AND THE BENGALS RIGHT AT THE GET-GO QUIETED THINGS BEFORE THIS BILLS' MAFIA AND DROVE IT RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD AND SCORED A TOUCHDOWN, TOUCHDOWN THROW FROM BURROW TO CHASE AND HAD THE UPPER HAND THROUGHOUT. TONY: LOOKED SO IN SYNC AND PEOPLE QUESTIONING THE OFFENSIVE LINE. NO, THIS THEM IMPOSING THEIR WILL AND RUNNING THE BALL AND DOING EVERYTHING. JIM: THAT WAS MIXON FOR 9 AND MOVING ON 89 YARDS AND 15 CARRIES, ONE TOUCHDOWN. TONY: LOOK AT THAT. THEY SEAL THE BACK SIDE AND ONE-ON-ONE BLOCK AND RIGHT THERE AND THIS IS THE PART WHERE BUFFALO EARLIER THIS YEAR WAS SO DOMINANT. VON MILLER, WHEN HE WAS THERE, THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GAME CHANGER AND WOULD HAVE BEEN AND SO MUCH TIME. RANKED FOURTH IN THE NFL AND HE WAS IMPORTANT. THAT WAS THE GAME CHANGING ER FOR BUFFALO. JIM: SECOND AND 1. MIXON HAS ANOTHER FIRST. NOW AT THE 27TH FIRST DOWNS IN THIS GAME. TONY: YOU KNOW HOW YOU DO THAT? JIM: DOMINATING WITH THE OFFENSIVE LINE. EVERYBODY THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING DO BE THE WEAKNESS AND DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME AND THAT IS THE STRENGTH FOR CINCINNATI AND WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THESE STATISTICS THAT ARE VERY POSITIVE FOR BURROW AND MIXON AND CHASE, THE GUYS WHO DON'T GET THE STATS ARE THE BIGGEST STORY. TONY: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEM, THEIR SIZE IS BIG. WHEN YOU SEE THESE GUYS MOVE AGAINST THEM, THEY'RE BIGGER. JIM: THAT'S TO CHASE AND GETS NEAR ANOTHER FIRST DOWN. TONY: HAVE THAT ABILITY. YOU CAN CALL 4-YARD PLAYS, 2-YARD PLAYS. IF HE GETS TACKLED THERE AND CHASE IS CHASE, THEN CHASE IS ON THE CASE AND GET 10 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YEBEN IT'S GOOD. JIM: KANSAS CITY, THEY HAD KANSAS CITY'S NUMBER THE LAST THREE TIMES. TONY: THREE STRAIGHT WINS. SO RARE. CINCINNATI IS MORE THAN FOR REAL. JIM: HIT THE HANDS OF BOOGIE. TONY: MAKES A PLAY AND COULD TURN THIS AROUND AND HITS YOU IN THE FACE AND HARD AFTER IT HITS YOU IN THE FACE. JIM: ALL CLEARED OUT. FOR A THIRD AND 2. TONY: GOING TO GET MAN-TO-MAN DOWN THERE. JIM: THERE'S THE PASS FOR HIGGINS. AND IT'S INCOMPLETE. AND FLAG IS OUT. TONY: I COULD HEAR IT UP HERE. THAT WAS AS WICKED A SOUND AS I HEARD. JIM: WHITE AND POYER COLLIDING. REFEREE: PASS INTERFERENCE, DEFENSE. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. TONY: THIS HAD TO BE HELMET-TO- JIM: THE NFL ON CBS IS SPONSORED BY DIRECTV, GET YOUR TV TOGETHER. AND BY DOMINOS, GET GREAT DEALS ON PIZZA, CHICKEN, DESSERTS. BIG CALL ON THIRD AND 2. GENE: NOT A HUGE CONTACTABLE PLAY, IF YOU SEE THE RIGHT ARM RESTRICTING AND THE HOLD A LITTLE BIT, TAKING THAT HALF A STEP WHICH IS REALLY BIG WHEN YOU ARE LAYING OUT FOR THE FOOTBALL. JIM: POYER AND WHITE WERE ABLE TO WALK. LEWIS HAS COME IN AND JOHNSON HAS TO BE BROUGHT IN FOR EMERGENCY DUTY AND BOTH OF THE D.B.'S ARE IN THE BLUE TENT AND FIRST A AND GOAL. HAD IT BEEN AN INCOMPLETION, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOURTH AND 2 FROM THE 30 AND MCPHERSON FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT IN THE SNOW. TONY: THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT. TALKED TO TRACY AND SHE SAID THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT RIGHT THERE. YOU HAVE DIFFERENT GUYS IN THAT SECONDARY. JIM: BURROW. AND ROUSSEAU ON HIS BACK AND PICKS UP ABOUT A YARD, IF THAT THE. LOOKED LIKE -- TONY: I THINK MIXON WOULD HAVE SCORED A TOUCHDOWN EASY ILY AND SOMETIMES HE HANDS IT OFF. JIM: LOOKED LIKE OUT OF THE JOSH ALLEN PLAYBOOK. TONY: TIED AT 35 A PIECE. JIM: OFF THE HANDS OF HURST. AT THE GOAL LINE. TONY: MIGHT BE THE FIRST REAL LIKE THROW THAT HE MISSED, RIGHT? JIM: HASN'T MISSED MANY. TONY: ONLY THROW THAT I FEEL LIKE HE JUST MISSED. AND TALKING ABOUT THE SNOW AND EVERYTHING ELSE. DOESN'T NECESSARILY MISS WHEN SOMEONE IS OPEN. JIM: MCDERMOTT AND HIS TEAM HAVE TO STOP THEM HERE. THIRD AND GOAL. 12:00 TO GO. THERE'S MIXON. LEWIS ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT AT THE 2. TONY: YOU HAVE TO KICK A FIELD GOAL IF YOU ARE CINCINNATI. IF I'M BUFFALO, LET THEM GET DOWN TO THE 1. JIM: THE FIELD GOAL IS VERY HURTFUL FOR THE BILLS' CHANCES. TONY: THREE-SCORE GAME. THEY SAY IT'S BETTER THAN A TWO-SCORE GAME. NOTHING IS 100% HERE. THAT FIELD, IT'S SLIPPERY AND GOING TO HAPPEN. TRUST THIS. JIM: THIS FROM 20. THAT'S ALL IT IS. AND THAT KICK IS GOOD. DROVE IT RIGHT HOME. 27-10, CINCINNATI. WE HAD A FLAG. TONY: PEOPLE MAY HAVE THOUGHT CINCINNATI COULD BEAT THE BILLS. PEOPLE MAY HAVE THOUGHT MIGHT WIN BY A TOUCHDOWN. NOBODY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A 17-POINT GAME WITH A QUARTER STILL LEFT. REFEREE: PENALTY IS DECLINED. RESULT OF THE PLAY. SUCCESSFUL FIELD GOAL. JIM: BENGALS HAVE SCORED 5-7 POSSESSIONS. WATCHING THE JIM: WHITEHEADED TO THE LOCKER ROOM. POYER HAD GONE UP THE RAMP AS WELL. KICKOFF TO HINES. BRING IN JAY FEELY, SPECIAL TEAMS EXPERT. JAY: I WANT A BOUNCE RETURN. FOOTING IS NOT GOOD. TRY TO BOUNCE IT BACK WHERE THEY HAVE TO ADJUST ON THE FLY AND FIND SOMETHING WITH HINES. TONY: WHEN I HEAR BOUNCE RETURN, I HEAR THROW THE BALL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD. GIVE US SOMETHING. JIM: SO EXCITED. TONY: I WANTED TO SEE A BOUNCE RETURN. J.B., PHIL, NATE, COACH COWHER AND BOOMER. THEY HAVE THE LATEST NEWS AND THEIR ANALYSIS OF THIS GAME IS COMING UP ON THE "STATEFARM POST-GAME SHOW. ". TONY: DOESN'T TURN THE BALL OVER. NO TURNOVERS IN THIS GAME. AND HE HAS TO TURN INTO SUPERMAN. JIM: LOOKS FOR ANOTHER OPTION AND THERE'S THE START. AND CATCH BY KNOX NEAR THE 40-YARD LINE OF CINCINNATI. TONY: JOSH ALLEN JUST DIDN'T BECOME ONE OF THE BEST QUARTERBACKS IN THE LEAGUE, THAT'S A BIG-TIME THROW AND THAT WAS A BIG JOB. HE HAS TO KEEP DOING IT. JIM: THAT WAS 32 YARDS, LONGEST PLAY OF THE GAME FOR BUFFALO. AND NOW HE JUST LAUNCHES IT OUT OF BOUNDS. SO TRACY JUST PASSING ALONG THAT WHITE AND POYER BOTH IN THE LOCKER ROOM BEING EVALUATED FOR HEAD INJURIES. YOU'RE RIGHT, TONY. GOT TO BE HURRY UP THE REST OF THE WAY. THIS SEASON OF SO MANY DIFFERENT LAYERS TO IT AND ADVERSITIES AND SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT CHALLENGED THIS TEAM. AND NOW TRYING TO SAVE THE SEASON WITH 10:47 TO GO. TONY: GOING TO BE HARD. THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS HAVE DONE AN GREAT JOB. JIM: THAT IS BEASLEY, WHO NOW HAS THREE CATCHES IN THE GAME. THAT'S A FIRST DOWN. TONY: THESE ARE THE PRESSURES THAT KEEP COMING AFTER YOU. LOOK AT THIS SIDE ON THE LEFT. RIGHT THERE, HENDRICKSON. EVERYONE'S IN THERE AND SOMEONE'S COMING LIKE. FOUR GUYS, WHO ELSE IS GOING TO COME. HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE. JIM: THE BALL'S OUT. WAS THAT RULED AN INCOMPLETION. HERE'S THE SCOOP. HENDRICKSON HAS THE RECOVERY. TONY: ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE AND HE TOOK A SERIOUS HIT ON THIS ONE. HE GOT IT ON BOTH SIDES. WE'LL SEE IF THIS IS A FUMBLE OR NOT, JIM. 21, HILTON, COMES FLYING IN AND ALLEN TAKES THAT HIT FROM THE FRONT AND BACK. JIM: THEY HAVE RULED IT ON THE FIELD A FUMBLE. REFEREE: RULING ON THE FIELD IS FUMBLE, RECOVERED BY THE DEFENSE. GENE: REMEMBER ALL YOU NEED IS ONE CAMERA FRAME WITH THE BALL IN CONTROL AND MOVING FORWARD. LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN JIM: THE NFL ON CBS IS SPONSORED BY VERIZON, THE NETWORK YOU DESERVE, THE SAVINGS THAT LAST. STATEFARM, LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, STATEFARM IS THERE. AND BY INDEED, WE HELP PEOPLE GET JOBS. THERE IS A WHOLE LOT TO SORT IT. THEY RULED IT AN INCOMPLETE PASS. ALLEN WENT INTO THE BLUE TENT FOR TWO MINUTES AND COMES BACK OUT ONTO THE FIELD AND RESUME PLAY. TONY: HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF INJURY. HE WAS ALLOWED. JIM: SECOND AND 10, IT IS. AND GOING TO USE HIS LEGS AND SLIDE DOWN TO ABOUT THE 26. WILSON, HIS OLD TEAMMATE. MCDERMOTT WANTED A LATE HIT ON THAT. GREEN, JUST TO CLEAN IT UP, THEY RULED IT AN INCOMPLETE PASS BEFORE. GENE: JIM, IT WAS REALLY CLOSE AND ARM MOVING FORWARD AND HERE ON THE SLIDE. TO ME, THE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS ARE BOTH COMMITTED BEFORE ALLEN STARTED HIS SLIDE. EVEN THOUGH IT IS A LITTLE LATE, JUST SAW THE REPLAY OF THE ARM MOVING FORWARD. JIM: 26. PASS. TO KNOX ON THE GROUND FOR THE FIRST DOWN. GOT HIT AGAIN BY HILTON. TONY: THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PRESSURE PACKAGES. PRETEND PRESSURE IS GOING TO COME FROM OVER HERE. AND THIS HAS GOTTEN ALLEN OVER HERE. THEY NEED SLANTS, THEY NEED QUICK STUFF, SCREENS. MIKE HILTON DESCRIBING IT AND ALLEN IS TAKING A BEATING AND COMING FROM EVERYWHERE. ANARUMO, UNBELIEVABLE JOB. JIM: ALLEN, CHECKS DOWN AND SINGLETARY. HILTON AGAIN. TONY: THAT'S ANARUMO, RIGHT THERE, WHO HAS HAD ONE OF THE GREAT RUNS. WHAT HE DID TO PATRICK MAHOMES IN THAT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TO NOW IS TRULY REMARKABLE. THIS TEAM HAS DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE AND EXOTIC TO THE OPPOSING TEAM. JIM: SECOND AND 10. IT IS DEFLECTED AND TIPPED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. THAT WAS HILL. HILL'S HAD QUITE A GAME, TOO, BY THE WAY. TONY: HE'S GOTTEN IN THE BACKFIELD, BATTED DOWN A FEW BALLS AND D-LINEMEN ARE TAUGHT TO DO DID. JIM: THREE BATTED BALLS. THIRD AND 10. FIELD GOAL IS IN PLAY, THREE SCORES DOWN. THIRD AND 10. HERE COMES THE FLAG FOR PRESNAP PENALTY ON BUFFALO. REFEREE: FIVE-YARD PENALTY. THIRD DOWN. TONY: TRYING TO GET FIVE YARDS BACK. OH, IT'S A FALSE START. I DO THINK RIGHT NOW THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS, YOU HAVE GOT TO GET THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS AND MAKE IT SIMPLE. WHO ARE THE D-LINEMEN. THERE YOU GO, THAT'S HOW YOU CAN WIN THIS. JIM: SINGLETARY TO THE 15. FOURTH DOWN AND ABOUT 5 OR 6. THREE SCORES DOWN, KEEPING THE OFFENSE OUT THERE. TONY: I'M GOING FOR THIS. YOU GET WITHIN TWO SCORES AND HARD TO MOVE UP AND DOWN. ONCE YOU'RE OUT THERE, YOU HAVE TO GO OUT THERE. JIM: THEY GOT 9 IN THE LAST ONE. NEED 6. TONY: FOOL'S GOLD. UP HERE. ONE OF THOSE TWO. JIM: ALLEN, STILL LOOKING FOR ANSWERS AND IT'S INCOMPLETE! IT WAS INTENDED FOR DAVIS. APPLE SAID NO. NO. NOT ON ME THIS TIME AND TURN IT OVER ON DOWNS. TONY: WHAT A JOB DEFENSIVELY JIM: THAT'S A POST-SEASON RECORD FOR CINCINNATI, 28 FIRST DOWNS. THEY HAVE BEEN MOUNTING THOSE NUMBERS AT SUCH A RATE SINCE THE VERY START. TONY: THAT'S A COMBINATION OF THE OFFENSIVE LINE IMPOSING ITS WILL. PLAY CALLING BICYCLE HAN. JIM: WHITE IN ON THAT TACKLE. THE DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS. THE COWBOYS AND 49ERS ON FOX AT 6:30. AND NEXT SUNDAY AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME ON CBS AT 6:30. ALL GAMES PRESENTED BY INTUIT TURBO TAX. TIME-OUT CALLED BY BUFFALO. SOME IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE BY PHILADELPHIA. TO ADVANCE TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND BE THE HOST NEXT WEEK AGAINST THE WINNER OF DALLAS AND SAN FRANCISCO. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? TONY: ALMOST LIKE -- EVERYONE LEFT GOING INTO TODAY I THINK WERE THE BEST TEAMS IN THE NFL FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO. YOU COULD ARGUE EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHATEVER YOU. DALLAS, SAN FRANCISCO AND PHILADELPHIA COMING INTO TODAY. I THINK DALLAS COULD WIN THIS GAME AND WIN THE SUPER BOWL. I THINK SAN FRANCISCO IS AS TOUGH TO PLAY AS ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE ON THE ROAD IN THE PLAYOFFS. JUST THE EFFORT CINCINNATI IS DOING. GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE GAME AND PHILADELPHIA WAS THE TEAM THAT HAS A SCHEME THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP OFFENSIVELY. EVERYONE'S AMAZING. JIM: TIME-OUT JIM: BILLS HAVE USED ALL OF THEIR TIME-OUTS AND 7:00 AND CINCINNATI PICKED UP TWO MORE FIRST DOWNS AFTER FORCING THE BILLS OFF THE FIELD. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW RUNNING PLAYS. 153, MAKE THAT 154 RUSH YARDS IN THIS GAME. TONY: FRUSTRATION HERE. DIGGS WANTS TO WIN. HE IS HIGHLY EMOTIONAL PLAYER. HE SAID LISTEN, I WAS OPEN RIGHT THERE ON THE SIDE. JIM: DID YOU THINK HE WAS OPEN? TONY: HE WAS EVENTUALLY OPEN. AND TRYING TO CREATE A PLAY. SOMEONE IS GOING TO COME OPEN EVENTUALLY. HE WASN'T WIDE OPEN. THE SAFETY WAS THERE AND DID BECOME OPEN. AND LOOKING TO SOMEBODY ELSE. THAT HAPPENS A LOT. JIM: MIXON BREAKS THROUGH. TWO YARDS SHORT. AND AGAIN BUFFALO CAN'T STOP IT. TONY: FOR CINCINNATI TO -- WE KEEP CONTROLLING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, ONE AREA THAT I ALWAYS FELT LIKE BUFFALO HAD OVER THEM OR MAYBE KANSAS CITY IN SOME WAYS. NO ANY MORE. TODAY HAS CONVINCED ME RIGHT NOW CINCINNATI IS A JUGGERNAUT. THEY HAVE CREATED A SYSTEM ON DEFENSE AND WHAT THEIR COACH CREATED ON OFFENSE, HIM AND CALLAHAN, IT'S SIMPLE BUT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT BUT GET TO WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND THEY LINE UP. YOU SHALL GOING TO BE COVERING FOUR TODAY. YOU ARE GOING TO COVER THREE. OTHER TEAMS ARE CALLING PLAYS AND THEN READING STUFF. THEY ARE FIGURING OUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND LIVE IN THIS WORLD HOW THEY CALL IT SO THEIR CALLS. OVERFRONT, UNDERFRONT, WE ARE GOING TO RUN THE BALL WITH OUR OVERFRONT STUFF. BUT THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF GETTING TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND THAT'S WHAT MANNING DID AND JOE BURROW IS IN THAT WORLD. JIM: THAT WAS MIXON. 30TH FIRST DOWN OF THE GAME, WHICH IS PRETTY REMARKABLE AND PERINE. ZAC TAYLOR IS ON HIS WAY TO SIXTH TOTAL POST-SEASON. HE IS ON HIS WAY TO ATTEMPTING A SIXTH POST-SEASON WIN. FIVE FOR HIM. FIVE. AND SIX TOTAL WINS THE FIRST TWO YEARS. BARRING ANY MIRACLE HERE, HE HAS A CHANCE NEXT WEEK TO EQUAL WHAT HE DID FOR TWO YEARS AND MIKE BROWN STAYED WITH HIM. TONY: IF THEY BEAT KANSAS CITY NEXT WEEK, CINCINNATI SHOULD BE THE FAVORITE. KANSAS CITY HAS BEEN THE FAVORITE FOR SO LONG NOW AFTER NEW ENGLAND. FIVE ROSE IN A ROW, AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. BUT IF CINCINNATI BEATS THEM AGAIN ON THE ROAD, YOU HAVE TO SAY CINCINNATI IS THE TEAM IN THE AFC GOING INTO THE NEXT YEAR. THAT'S A TALL TASK BECAUSE MAHOMES HAS A WAY OF SHOWING UP. HE IS GOING TO BE THERE IN THAT STADIUM NEXT WEEK. JIM: WILL HE BE PLAYING? THE ROAD RECORD AND THAT TURN-AROUND, IT HAS BEEN REMARKABLE. TONY: JOE BURROW HELPS TURN AROUND SOMETIMES. YOU ARE DEAD RIGHT. WHAT HE HAS DONE IS AMAZING AND THAT STEADY HAND. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A QUARTERBACK. BUT FROM THERE, THAT QUARTERBACK DOESN'T GUARANTEE YOU A WIN IN THIS GAME? JIM: FOURTH DOWN. TONY: THEN IT TAKES EVERYBODY. ZAC TAYLOR, HIRED GOOD COACHES. BY THE WAY, THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE DEPTH ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE AND MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT LIKE KANSAS CITY WHEN THEY LOST IN THE SUPER BOWL TO TAMPA AND THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT. JIM: TRYING TO FINISH IT OFF. TONY: LOOKS LIKE CINCINNATI MAY HAVE MOVED. REFEREE: FALSE START, NUMBER 67, OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY. FOURTH DOWN. JIM: PUNTING UNIT. TONY: THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY WAY THAT BUFFALO COULD HAVE COME BACK. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SHORT FIELD ONCE. NOT GOING TO GO THREE DRIVES OF 80 YARDS AND 239 WITH NO TIME-OUTS. BY THE WAY, HOW BIG IS THIS GOING TO BE NEXT WEEK. CINCINNATI OVERCOMING. THEY FELT SLIGHTED. MAYBE DESERVE HE HADLY SLOW. IF I WAS A BENGAL FAN, I WOULD SAY WHY AREN'T WE GETTING A NEUTRAL SITE LIKE BUFFALO WOULD GET IT. THEY CAME IN HERE AND DID THIS. JOSH ALLEN UNDEFEATED AT HOME IN THE PLAYOFFS. NOT TODAY. JIM: THE PLAYERS WERE VERY AWARE OF THE PLAYERS BEING SLIGHTED AND ZAC TAYLOR DIDN'T ADDRESS IT. STATE FARM POST GAME SHOW IS COMING UP. I'M SURE THEY WILL HAVE GOOD TAKES ON THIS GAME. THE PLAYERS WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT GOT REWORKED WITH THE GAME'S CANCELLATION AND EVEN DOWN TO THE FACT THAT TICKETS WERE BEING SOLD BUT THAT JUST MADE THEM FEEL LIKE IT WAS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION. THEY CAME IN WITH A BOULDER. TONY: THEY ARE SAYING, DIDN'T WE GO TO THE SUPER BOWL LAST YEAR? WE WENT TO THE SUPER BOWL LAST YEAR. WHY IS EVERYONE COORDINATING BUFFALO AND KANSAS CITY? THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY BEFORE THEN. WHAT CINCINNATI HAS DONE. RIGHT NOW. I TOLD COACH TAYLOR, IF YOU WIN THIS ONE TOMORROW, THIS IS AS BIG A GAME AS FAR AS CHANGING PERCEPTION, AND YOU ARE FOR REAL GOING FOR IT THE NEXT THREE YEARS, THEY CAN BEAT ANYBODY ANY DAY AND NOT THE UNDERDOGS. JIM: COMPLETION TO KNOX. GETS IT TO ABOUT THE 31. EVEN WHEN WE HAD BACK IN EARLY DECEMBER, K.C. AT CINCINNATI. AND I KNOW THEY WENT TO THE SUPER BOWL. AND ALWAYS BEEN NICE. I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO SEE ANY MORE FOR YOU TO REALIZE THAT THIS TEAM IS DANGEROUS AS SINGLETARY IS ABLE TO GET TO HIS FEET. MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. TONY: EXACTLY RIGHT THE WAY YOU SAID THAT. THEY ARE GOOD. DID BURROW -- THERE WAS SOMETHING -- NO. THEY ARE ACTUALLY THIS GOOD. THEY ARE HERE TO STAY, JIM. JIM: ON THEIR WAY TO A JIM: THE NFL ON CBS IS SPONSORED BY H AND R BLOCK, IT'S TAX SEASON. AND BY BUD LIGHT, WHO REMINDS YOU TO DRINK RESPONSIBLY. 2:00 TO GO. CINCINNATI SHELL AKING OF BUFFALO HERE, WHAT A PERFORMANCE BY BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. A LOT OF STARS. [CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORTS DIVISION] CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY. VISIT NCICAP.ORG. JIM: ALLEN WITH NO TIME-OUTS TO WORK WITH. OUT OF THE HANDS OF KNOX. YOU SAID A MINUTE AGO, YOU SAID PATRICK MAHOMES WILL BE IN THE BUILDING AND I SAY WILL HE BE PLAYING? YOU HAVE DEALT WITH A HIGH ANKLE STRAIN. TONY: WHEN I DID IT, I WASN'T ABLE TO PLAY. YOU CAN'T WALK. WHEN IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, HE IS GOING TO PLAY TODAY AND TAPE IT UP AND GO OUT THERE AND DID HE DREN LYNN IS GOING TO KICK IN. NEXT DAY, HE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AND ALMOST ON CRUTCHES ON WEDNESDAY. AND BY LIKE -- IT DEPENDS. BUT FOR WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE, I WOULD TELL YOU NOR THOSE OF YOU THINKING IT'S 100% THAT HE PLAYS, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT, AND WILL HE PLAY? YES. HE IS PATRICK MAHOMES, HE'S YOUNG AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET HEALTHIER FASTER. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I JUST DON'T KNOW FOR SURE HE WILL BE ABLE PATRICK MAHOMES. HE WON'T HAVE THE SAME ATHLETICISM HE HAD THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE YEAR. JIM: WHAT HE DID LAST NIGHT WAS REMARKABLE. TONIGHT "60 MINUTES" FOLD BY "GHOSTS" AND "TOP GUN." THERE IS A QUESTION I WANT TO ASK YOU BUT WON'T ASK YOU WHILE YOU ARE PUTTING A PIECE OF GUM IN YOUR MOUTH. TONY: AND HE IS GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME. JIM: HARDOFF WAS A -- HANDOFF WAS A LITTLE EARLY. TONY: GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR MAHOMES NEXT WEEKEND AND IF HE IS BACK, HE WILL NOT BE AS NEAR ATHLETIC BUT MAHOMES IS THE BEST POCKET PASSER. HIM AND BURROW. JIM: INTERCEPTION, FIRST OF THE GAME FOR CINCINNATI AND GREAT FOR TAYLOR BRITT AND HE SAYS I HAVE A POST-SEASON PICK. AND SNOW-ANGEL TIME. THEY HAVE COME IN HERE. TONY: THIS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, ANARUMO, THEY HAVE CHANGED AND ADJUSTED. CALLAHAN, THEY NEED TO BE ON YOUR LIST. AND FRAZIER. HE HAS CHANGED HIS STRIPES. AND THEY HAVE A MISMATCHED. AND THAT SEASON. AND BURROW'S SEASON CONTINUES AND KEEPS SLAYING THE DRAGONS. JIM: NO QUESTION AND DOES IT WITH A LOT OF STYLE. TONY: NO ONE PUTS HIM IN THE PHYSICAL TALENT LEVEL. AND HAS RARE GIFTS. YOU CAN'T EVALUATE THEM. JIM: REMATCH OF LAST YEAR'S TITLE GAME, FIRST AFC CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE THE RAVENS AND PATS, RAVENS AND PATRIOTS 2011-2012 AND WE HAVE SEEN THE THREE WINS BY -- LOOK AT THE BACK FLIP IN THE END ZONE. THAT WAS PRETTY CLEVER. TONY: THAT IS OK. I DO THINK, THOUGH THAT JOE BURROW HAS PUT HIMSELF RIGHT THERE. YOU CANNOT SAY HE IS RIGHT IN THE CLASS. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH BRADY. BUT RIGHT NOW, JOSH ALLEN AND PATRICK MAHOMES AND JOE BURROW HAVE BEEN IN THE CLASS IN THE AFC. JIM: ALLEN WENT OVER TO WILSON, HIS COMRADE FROM WYOMING. TONY: HE SEES THINGS FASTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE. JIM: MEETING OF THE QUARTERBACKS, ALLEN WHISPERED SOMETHING INTO HIS EAR. TONY: GOLDEN AGE COMING UP HERE. LAMAR JACKSON IS GOING TO COME BACK. HERBERT AND LAWRENCE, HURTS. JIM: AFC SIDE. WE'RE ALL SET TO GO TO KANSAS CITY NEXT SUNDAY, AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BETWEEN THE BENGALS AND THE CHIEFS AGAIN. LET'S GO DOWN TO TRACY. TRACY: THANKS A LOT. JOE CAME OVER AND SAID THE JOB IS NOT DONE, BUT WHAT A PERFORMANCE FROM START TO FINISH, WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THAT OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. HOW DID YOU GET IT DONE? >> COMPLETE GAME. THAT'S WHAT WE EXPECTED. JOB'S NOT FINISHED, BIG WIN NEXT WEEK ON THE ROAD. TRACY: WE TALKED ABOUT THAT CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER AND NEUTRAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. HOW MUCH DID THAT MOTIVATE YOU? >> SEND THOSE REFUNDS. TRACY: AND YOU ARE OFF TO ANOTHER ROAD TRIP TO KANSAS CITY, A REMATCH OF LAST YEAR'S AFC CHAMPIONSHIP. YOUR EARLY THOUGHTS. >> FUN ONE. TWO OF THE TOP TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE. GREAT COACH. GREAT PE FEAR. TRACY: WE'LL SEE YOU THERE. GOOD LUCK. JIM: JOE BURROW LEADS THE WAY, 412 YARDS, 30 FIRST DOWNS AND NEVER TURNED IT OVER ONCE. TONY: I LIKE THAT KID. I LIKED ALLEN AND MAHOMES. THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN. NEXT WEEK, JIM, DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT ONE? JIM: I'LL DO THAT. FINAL SCORE IS CINCINNATI 27 AND BUFFALO 10. COMING UP NEXT THE STATEFARM POST-GAME SHOW. SAYING SO LONG. THE DIVISIONAL
