“Joe Burrow’s Job is Much Tougher Now”: Bengals Rule Out Two Important Starters Before Divisional Game Against the Buffalo Bills

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking to repeat their success from last season in which they reached the Super Bowl, despite being overlooked. They were able to knock out favorites, the Kansas City Chiefs, in a miraculous second half comeback.

This season, the Bengals are being given the respect they deserve after a Super Bowl run. After finishing the season with a 12-4 record, they were able to take care of the Baltimore Ravens in Super Wild Card Weekend.

Joe Burrow had a season in which some analysts were ready to give him the MVP trophy, but fell short to fellow quarterback Patrick Mahomes. This week, Burrow will be looking to lead his team against the Buffalo Bills.

The Buffalo Bills finished the season 13-3 and with the 2nd seed in the AFC. The Bills lost in the divisional round last year in heartbreaking fashion to the Kansas City Chiefs, when Mahomes drove his team down the field in 13 seconds for a game tying field goal.

The Bills have been an early Super Bowl favorite and will be trying to fulfill the prophecy against this formidable Bengals team. However, the injury bug seems to favor the Bills more in this situation.

Who is out for the Bengals as of right now?

Today, the Cincinnati Bengals ruled out left tackle Jonah Williams and guard Alex Cappa, both of whom are important starters on their offensive line. This makes Joe Burrow’s job much harder against a vaunted Buffalo pass defense.

The Bills pass rush also suffered an injury earlier in the season when Von Miller was ruled out for the year. Miller is an amazing pass rusher who played a key role in the Los Angeles Rams winning their title last year.

The Bills will be hosting the Bengals on Sunday at 12:00 pm PST. The winner of this game will face the winner of the Chiefs-Jaguars game next Sunday. The Chiefs are favored to win this game by a big margin.

Both the Bills and Bengals have a lot to prove this season as well as get revenge for the way their season ended last year. Let us see who is able to advance despite the cards being stacked against them.
