A solemn damar hamlin revisited the spot of his cardiac arrest after bills - bengals, share this article.

For Damar Hamlin, it couldn’t have been easy to return to Paycor Stadium as his Buffalo Bills played the Cincinnati Bengals.
It was the first time he was back since collapsing in the middle of the January game last season due to cardiac arrest. Thank goodness Hamlin recovered fully.
Since then, the safety returned to NFL action, and although he was inactive on Sunday night, he was filmed after the game as he returned near the spot of his collapse, looking solemn as you’d expect given what he must have been thinking about at that moment.
Here are the videos, along with Hamlin’s tweet about that moment:

Hamlin, 25, was inactive on game day. But after the contest, Hamlin was spotted taking an emotional lap around the turf after everyone left following the 24-18 loss for his team.

Sunday Night Football: Joe Burrow and the Bengals roll over Josh Allen, Bills
Posted: November 6, 2023 | Last updated: November 6, 2023
The Cincinnati Bengals are back.
After a slow start to the season, Joe Burrow and the Bengals picked up their fourth straight win on Sunday night in a very strong outing against the Buffalo Bills. The Bengals, who scored on their first two drives of the night, cruised to the 24-18 win at Paycor Stadium .
Burrow went a perfect 6-of-6 on the opening drive of the night before capping it off with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Irv Smith. While the Bills responded with a touchdown of their own right away — Josh Allen ran in a 2-yard score — that was the last time they found the end zone until the final minutes of the game. Joe Mixon gave the Bengals a 14-7 lead with a 2-yard run just before the end of the first quarter, and then Burrow found Drew Sample for a 22-yard touchdown right before halftime.
The Bills hit a field goal right out of the break, but that was it. The Bengals forced a fumble after a Dalton Kincaid catch deep in the red zone to stall the Bills' best shot at the end zone early in the fourth quarter, too, which all but sealed the win.
Allen hit Stefon Diggs for a 21-yard score with just more than three minutes left in the game, and they completed the 2-point conversion to suddenly bring the game back to just six points. But Burrow found Tyler Boyd for a deep play right away, and then quickly ran out the clock to seal the win for Cincinnati.
Allen went 26-of-38 for 258 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the loss for the Bills. He was also their leading rusher with 44 yards on the ground. Diggs had 86 receiving yards on six catches.
Burrow went 31-of-44 for 348 yards with two touchdowns for the Bengals. Mixon added 37 yards on 14 carries, and Tee Higgins had 110 receiving yards on eight catches. The Bengals have now won four straight games and sit at 5-3. While they still have plenty of work to do to establish themselves in the elite tier in the AFC, a win over the Bills on Sunday night certainly helps that quest.
Follow along as Yahoo Sports provides the latest news, highlights and scores as the Bengals take on the Bills on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 9.

A healthy Bills’ Damar Hamlin returns to the field where he suffered cardiac arrest

Damar Hamlin was a healthy scratch for the Buffalo Bills ’ game at the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night.
Much emphasis on the word “healthy.”
The last time the Bills visited Paycor Stadium was Jan. 2, when Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during the game and was resuscitated on the field before being taken by ambulance to a hospital. The horrifying scene unfolded as a national audience watched on “Monday Night Football.”
Hamlin has made a remarkable recovery since then and was cleared to play in April. Sunday was the eighth time in nine games this season that Hamlin was healthy but inactive, but the significance of being able to walk back into that stadium with his teammates Sunday was not lost on Hamlin.

Will Damar Hamlin’s injury change the NFL? Why a safer game could turn away fans
Damar Hamlin’s injury on national TV was shocking and painful to watch. Will it cause fans to second-guess their love of the game? Experts say no.
Jan. 5, 2023
“We all go through tough times. We all go through adversity,” Hamlin said in a “Today” show interview that took place before the game but aired Monday. “And being able to get knocked down and having a problem in front of the entire world and then come into that same stadium and stand in whatever role that I have and support my team, I think that shows a lot of strength, a lot of courage, a lot of pride, a lot of confidence.”
The former University of Pittsburgh star also announced during his return to Cincinnati that in each of the next three years, his charitable foundation will award $1,000 scholarships to 10 students from underserved communities in the area. Those donations will be made in the names of 10 first responders, nurses and doctors who helped save his life earlier this year.
“This is my third family — I got Pittsburgh, I got Buffalo and I got Cincinnati,” Hamlin said on “Today.”

Olivia Ray, a reporter for WLWT-TV 5 in Cincinnati, posted a video on X of Hamlin crouched down by himself near midfield after the Bills’ 24-18 loss to the Bengals. Hamlin was seen near the area where he collapsed on the field 10 months ago.
According to Ray’s tweet, Hamlin had been there for nearly 15 minutes. The third-year safety reposted Ray’s post and wrote: “Tonight was everything for me.. y’all don’t know the half of it. Trust me.”
Hamlin also posted a video of that spot on the field onto his Instagram Stories, with the written message: “Head Clear. Blessed & Highly Favored. Thank you.”

Bills will try to get even for last season’s playoff loss as they take on Burrow and the Bengals
By The Associated Press
BUFFALO (5-3) at CINCINNATI (4-3)
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. EST, NBC
OPENING LINE: Bengals by 2 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
AGAINST THE SPREAD: Bills 3-5-0, Bengals 3-3-1.
SERIES RECORD: Bills lead 17-16.
LAST MEETING: Bengals beat Bills 27-10 in the divisional round of AFC playoffs on Jan. 22 in Orchard Park, New York.
LAST WEEK: Bills beat Buccaneers 24-18 on Oct. 26; Bengals beat 49ers 31-17.
BILLS OFFENSE: OVERALL (5), RUSH (14), PASS (4), SCORING (4)
BILLS DEFENSE: OVERALL (13), RUSH (22), PASS (10), SCORING (3)
BENGALS OFFENSE: OVERALL (24), RUSH (28), PASS (29), SCORING (23)
BENGALS DEFENSE: OVERALL (16), RUSH (27), PASS (28), SCORING (21)
TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Bills plus-2; Bengals plus-7.
BILLS PLAYER TO WATCH: TE Dalton Kincaid. The rookie first-round draft pick has topped 60 yards receiving in each of his past two outings, and scored his first career touchdown in the win over Tampa Bay. Kincaid has provided the Josh Allen-led passing attack a much-needed secondary threat.
BENGALS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Joe Burrow came out hot after the bye week, throwing for 283 yards on 28-for-32 passing and three touchdowns. Burrow didn’t show any signs of the right calf injury that hampered him in the first part of the season.
KEY MATCHUP: Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase against the Bills defense. With Burrow back to form, Chase could continue to benefit. He lines up all over the field, and if he’s double-teamed it opens up opportunities for receivers Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.
KEY INJURIES: For Buffalo, Allen is expected to play despite missing practice on Wednesday with a sore throwing shoulder he aggravated against Tampa Bay. ... S Damar Hamlin did not practice because of an illness, but wasn’t expected to suit up on Sunday. Hamlin has played in a game just once this season. ... CB Kaiir Elam (ankle) was placed on IR on Thursday. ... For Cincinnati, DE Trey Hendrickson (foot), OT Orlando Brown Jr. (groin) and Joe Mixon (chest) were limited in practice.
SERIES NOTES: Certainly, the most notable game was Jan. 2 when Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in Cincinnati and went into cardiac arrest. He was rushed to a hospital, the game was stopped and eventually canceled. Twenty days later, the teams met in Orchard Park in the divisional playoffs with the Bengals prevailing. Previous to that, the Bengals had won four of the past six meetings, going back to 2011. Buffalo had a 10-game winning streak from 1989 to 2010.
STATS AND STUFF: Buffalo is in the midst of playing three consecutive prime-time outings and four in five weeks. The stretch closes with the Bills returning home to host the Denver Broncos on Monday, Nov. 13. ... The Bills are 2-1 in prime-time outings this season, and have won their past two since a season-opening 22-16 overtime loss at the New York Jets. ... The Bills have won five straight games played on Sunday night, going back to a 17-10 win over Pittsburgh on Dec. 15, 2019. ... Bills coach Sean McDermott has a 67-38 record, leaving him one win from matching Lou Saban for second on the franchise list. Hall of Famer Marv Levy is first with 112 wins. ... Allen has produced three or more touchdowns five times this season, upping his career total to 199 (155 passing, 43 rushing and one receiving) to tie Hall of Famer Dan Marino for second among quarterbacks through their first six seasons. Patrick Mahomes tops the list with 204. ... Allen’s 43 TDs rushing ties Steve Young for second by an NFL quarterback behind only Cam Newton (75). ... WR Stefon Diggs became the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to open a season with six or more catches in his team’s first eight games, tying Jimmy Smith and Adam Thielen. Wes Welker holds the record with 11 consecutive games. ... The Bills are tied for sixth in the NFL with eight interceptions, all coming in their first four games. ... Buffalo forced a season-high six punts against the Buccaneers. ... Bills PK Sam Martin landed three of his four punts inside the 10 against Tampa Bay. ... The Bengals have won three straight games since dropping three of their first four as Burrow continued to rehab his injured calf. ... WR Ja’Marr Chase was targeted 12 times and made 10 catches for 100 yards in the win over the 49ers ... He ranks seventh in the NFL in receiving yards with 656. ... RB Joe Mixon rushed for a season-high 87 yards and scored his second TD of the season. ... Burrow’s 87.5% completion rate in the game was a career high. He also completed 19 passes in a row, also a career high. ... Linebackers Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson had interceptions against 49ers QB Brock Purdy. CB Mike Hilton had another late in the game, but it was negated by a penalty. ... Cincinnati DEs Trey Henderson and Sam Hubbard each had sacks Sunday. It was Henderson’s eighth of the season, just two off the league lead held by Vikings LB Danielle Hunter. ... The Bengals finished with a season-high 400 yards. .... Bengals K Evan McPherson made a 56-yard field goal last week, his longest of the season so far. He has made 11 of 14 field-goal tries.
FANTASY TIP: Bengals RB Joe Mixon had 105 rushing yards and a touchdown in last season’s playoff win over Buffalo. The Bengals are finally getting some traction with the run game this season, with Mixon picking up 87 yards (5.4 per carry) and a TD in last week’s win.

Joe Burrow leads Cincinnati Bengals in primetime matchup against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills
By MITCH STACY AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI (AP) — For the first time all season, Joe Burrow found his top form against the San Francisco 49ers last week for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Just in the nick of time.
The franchise quarterback had struggled through much of the early season because of a calf injury that had sidelined him for the entirety of training camp. One of the NFL’s best signal-callers just wasn’t at his best.
An uneven 17-13 win over Seattle on Oct. 15 pushed the Bengals to a manageable 3-3 before their bye week.
Last Sunday, two days before Halloween, Burrow was wearing an alien mask when he got off the team bus. When the game started, he assumed the role of superhero again.
Burrow threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns in the 31-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. His 87.5% completion rate in the game was the best of his career.
“Joe is Joe, man,” said safety Micah Hyde whose Buffalo Bills (5-3) will face the Bengals on Sunday night in Cincinnati. “Last week was a big indication of what they’re able to do on offense with the weapons he has around him. We know that’s their team, that’s their offense, and they go when Joe goes.”
In the previous meeting of the teams, Burrow threw two touchdown passes and Cincinnati’s defense swarmed quarterback Josh Allen on snow-slicked field in Orchard Park, New York, as the Bengals prevailed 27-10 in an AFC divisional playoff game Jan. 22.
The most recent time Buffalo played at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium, during “Monday Night Football” last Jan. 2, is seared in the memory of everyone who was there because of a terrifying incident that brought the game to a halt.
Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field after tackling Bengals receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter. He was revived and rushed to a hospital. The game was postponed and eventually canceled.
Hamlin recovered and is back with the Bills, although he is not expected to play on Sunday night.
“I think what happened is in the past,” Burrow said when asked about it this week. “I think everybody remembers it, but is not going to dwell on it. I know he’s not dwelling on it, either.”
Allen has been bothered by a sore shoulder, but his 71.7% completion rate leads the league. His favorite option, Stefon Diggs, averages 93.5 receiving yards per game.
HAMLIN EXPECTED TO BE INACTIVE ON SUNDAY
As much as he’d like to play, Hamlin told The Associated Press he has no problem with having been inactive for seven of Buffalo’s first eight games this season.
“Since I first got drafted by the Buffalo Bills, I think the first interview that I did, with whomever I spoke to, I told them I don’t care if I had to carry the water,” Hamlin said. “I just want to do my part to win games. ... A team is never ‘I.’ It’s always ‘we.’ So that’s my mission.”
The third-year player’s only game this season was against Miami on Oct. 1, and he was limited to special teams.
REINFORCEMENTS
The Bills shored up their roster this week by acquiring cornerback Rasul Douglas in a trade with Green Bay and signing free agent defensive tackle Linval Joseph. It’s unclear whether they’ll be available to play on Sunday, though Douglas is a likely candidate to suit up against the Bengals.
Douglas, who had 10 interceptions during the past two-plus seasons with the Packers, is taking over the starting spot for Tre’Davious White (torn right Achilles tendon). And Joseph, who has 13 seasons of NFL experience, will fill in for DaQuan Jones, who is out indefinitely with a torn pectoral muscle.
Buffalo also signed running back Leonard Fournette to their practice squad with backup Damien Harris on injured reserve with a neck injury.
WANTED: AN AFC WIN FOR BENGALS
The Bengals beat the two top teams in the NFC West in consecutive weeks, but haven’t managed to beat an AFC team yet. They opened the season by losing to AFC North rivals Cleveland and Baltimore. It was in the Ravens game that Burrow aggravated his calf injury. Then they lost to Tennessee in Week 4 before winning the past three straight against NFC teams.
“There’s a lot of guys on this team who have experienced continued success before, and they know how hard it is,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. “And so they’re not going to be fooled by having a big road win and thinking, ‘Oh, we’ve arrived, here in a Week 8.’ Not even close. And so that is the benefit of having the team that we have. They know how hard it is going to be going forward to continue this, and I know that they’re willing to put in the work for it.”

Williams: What if Damar Hamlin had died on the field? Thankfully, we'll never know

The bosses asked me to “set the scene” for Sunday’s big Bengals-Bills showdown in Downtown.
Damar Hamlin’s return. Showering him with love. Celebrating the medical people who saved his life after the young man collapsed on the Paycor Stadium turf in January. Big-time AFC playoff implications. Primetime. Sold out.
What else can be said about the game?

Bengals Bills How the Bengals moved past a moment of frustration for Germaine Pratt
I’ve wrestled with what I’m about to say for, oh, 10 months.
What if Hamlin had died on Jan. 2?
It’s hard to let your mind go there because it didn’t happen – and thank God for that. Thankfully, no answer is necessary. Hamlin is alive and well and will be back at Paycor Stadium, whether as an active player or watching in street clothes from Buffalo’s sideline. Good-hearted Bengals fans, who’ve supported and prayed for Hamlin since his collapse on the field, will cheer and cry when they see him.
That’s the scene. That’s all that matters. Hamlin, 25, is doing great. Time to celebrate that. Who cares about football.
“Man, I’m thankful for life,” Hamlin told the New York Post this week. “Honestly, I’m thankful to wake up, brush my teeth, have a meal. Take 10 deep breaths. I’m thankful for everything. Life is bigger than just ball for me and always will be until the day that I go, but to be able to do what I do at the highest level, I’m an extra level of thankful.”
It’s OK to go through all the emotions Sunday night. Let the tears of joy flow. Let your mind wonder “what-if” Hamlin hadn’t pulled through. It’s OK to be angry at the money-grubbing NFL officials who wanted to resume the game after Hamlin was whisked off the turf in an ambulance.
Let it all out.
Let Sunday also be a moment to pause and check your fandom. If you get too worked up about football, let the outcome of a football game ruin your day or week, let gambling on football take a toll on your relationships and/or spend more time on football than you do with your family and friends, well, this is your day. To those idiots picking fights in stadiums across this season : Hamlin's return to Cincinnati is your get-a-grip moment.
Now is the time to reflect on the day football became about life and death.
Nothing puts football into perspective like a young man – someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s grandson, someone’s nephew, someone’s friend – lying motionless, flat on his back in the middle of the coliseum being rendered CPR (which Hamlin has credited for saving his life ).
Sadly, I should say I hope nothing puts football into perspective like a man almost dying on the field.
What happened still seems surreal.
You can get numb to watching players go down with injuries. It happens a lot. You typically assume when the player is down for several minutes, it’s either a neck injury, concussion, broken leg or blown-out knee. All serious injuries, some devasting and life-altering, but typically not life-threatening.
Hamlin’s situation was different, and we quickly knew it. The sold-out stadium almost immediately went silent after he awkwardly fell backward near midfield. A colleague on press row, viewing the dire scene through his binoculars, said: “They’re performing CPR.”
I turned to a colleague and quietly said: "We may have just witnessed a person die playing football.”
Tears filled my eyes. The whole stadium was in tears.
And I was angry, recalling Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa involuntarily convulsing as he laid on the same turf after suffering a head injury just three months earlier.
I remember thinking: This isn’t war. This is a damn football game.
Let us not forget that Sunday night.

Bills’ Damar Hamlin inactive vs. Bengals in return to Cincinnati after on-field cardiac arrest

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin will be inactive for his team’s “Sunday Night Football” matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, where Hamlin returns for the first time since he went into cardiac arrest on the field last season.
Hamlin collapsed during a game between the Bills and Bengals on Jan. 2. He appeared in one game this season on Oct. 1 against the Miami Dolphins , after Buffalo ruled out safety Jordan Poyer with a knee injury. Hamlin was a healthy scratch for the Bills’ first three games due to other safeties being ahead of him on the depth chart and because he is not a contributor on special teams.

Hamlin, 25, returned to Cincinnati this summer as his Chasing M’s Foundation launched a CPR tour providing free, hands-on training while advocating for access to automated external defibrillators. Hamlin announced Saturday the foundation will award 10 $1,000 scholarships in each of the next three years to local kids from Cincinnati’s under-served communities in honor of the 10 first responders and other medical professionals who treated him.
Last night I had dinner with my heroes. 10 of the UC Medical Staff that helped save my life. I surprised them with a scholarship named after each of them that will support youth in Cincy to chase their dreams. Wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them!🫶🏾 pic.twitter.com/sEOCDkwYvk — 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐧 (@HamlinIsland) November 5, 2023
“What happened is in the past,” Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said. “I think everybody remembers it, but you know (we’re) not going to dwell on it. I know he’s not, either.”
Doctors cleared Hamlin to resume football activities in April, and Buffalo’s training staff continued to monitor him closely during training camp. Hamlin didn’t miss a practice all summer.

He was listed as the team’s backup safety with Cam Lewis throughout Bills training camp and preseason games, and made the Bills’ 53-man roster at the end of August after going through the non-padded ramp-up period to begin camp. He was a full participant in padded practices and a willing tackler and special teams player in full-contact preseason games.

Everything you need to know about attending a bengals game at paycor stadium.
Football fans will be in for a treat this year when attending a Cincinnati Bengals game at Paycor Stadium. A newly renovated stadium debuts this season with new food and drink options, new bars and jungle-themed flair, and other visuals throughout.
With the team once again poised for a playoff appearance and Super Bowl run, every game at Paycor this season will be an exciting one. From pre-game tailgating to game-time action and camaraderie with fellow fans, the entire experience is set to be a memorable one for all who enter the Jungle.
Attending a Bengals game should be on every football fan's to-do list this fall or winter.

What’s new at Paycor Stadium
The Bengals already rank in the top five for Season Ticket Member satisfaction and game entertainment, according to an NFL-wide fan survey. And the experience got even better for this year.
A fun new feature this year is the jungle-themed media day set, where Bengals players had promotional photos taken in the offseason. Fans will have a chance to pose for their own photos with the set serving as a backdrop for those Instagrammable moments.
New jungle-themed banners and bengal-stripe visuals bring the atmosphere to life from the moment you arrive. An eye-catching Cincinnati mural by a local artist graces the east side of the stadium.
New Paycor Stadium concessions
The east side also features a new destination bar, and on the west side, the Queen City Tap House has been transformed into the Jungle Bar. Up on the 300 level, The Perch offers grab-and-go drinks on both sides of the stadium.
Speaking of grab-and-go, the stadium now offers several self-service express markets, allowing for quicker drink and snack runs.
For more local flavor, you won’t have to walk far to find Skyline Chili because their coneys will be available at concessions throughout the stadium. Tenders, Love, and Chicken (TLC) will have two additional locations, and a new BBQ joint called Smoke and Sizzle makes its debut.

Are Bengals games family-friendly?
A game at Paycor Stadium can be a fun outing for families. PicksWise.com just rated Paycor Stadium as the most affordable NFL stadium for families attending a game.
Paycor Stadium is steps away from Smale Riverfront Park , which is worth a visit any time of year. If the weather permits, kids will love the Great Adventure Playground near the base of the Roebling Bridge. Adults and kids will both enjoy the giant swinging benches that overlook the Ohio River. For an indoor attraction at the park, check out Carol Ann’s Carousel which features a Bengal tiger character and other Cincy-themed animals on the ride.
Stadium admission and safety for children
It’s a good idea to stop by the Season Ticket Member tent to get your kid a Child Identification Wristband. The tent is located behind section 152 (near entry Gate E). The wristbands aid in finding the child’s seat in the event they get separated.
Children under two years old don’t need a ticket for entry. Keep in mind that you won’t be readmitted to the stadium once you leave.
Parking at Paycor Stadium
Paycor Stadium operates numerous lots in the immediate vicinity. To purchase parking for a single game event, passes are available through Ticketmaster .
Other parking options abound, including the garages at the Duke Energy Convention Center, the Scripps Building, and Fountain Square .
Arrive at the game in style by parking in Newport and hopping on a Queen City Riverboat for a lift to the stadium for $6 per person, round trip. Board the boat at the Beer Sellar/Hooters dock. Riverboat pick up begins two hours before kickoff, departing every 30 minutes.
Also on the Kentucky side, many people find lot or street parking in Covington for very reasonable rates. From Covington , a walk across the Roebling Bridge gets you to the Banks, steps away from the stadium.
Pre and post-game activities in Cincy
Bengals tailgating.
There’s never been a better time to experience Bengals tailgating than this year. Tailgating is allowed at all parking lots surrounding the stadium. The parking lot at the storied Longworth Hall offers arguably the best pre-game tailgating fun. Fans bring everything from Bengals flags and banners to corn hole games, grills, and drinks to kick off the party early and get pumped up for the game.
Get there early to nab a parking spot, or just walk in and make new friends. Lots typically open four hours before game time. Reserve a spot at Paycor Stadium surface parking lots 1, 1U, A, B, D, E, and Hilltop through Ticketmaster.

Bengals sports bars and restaurants
If you’d prefer to stay out of the cold and enjoy some food and drinks indoors, there are plenty of sports bars and restaurants at The Banks and in the surrounding area. The nearest to the stadium is Kitty’s Sports Bar and Cafe, known for its grilled and fried wings and other bar food. Holy Grail Bar and Grill is nearby and is very popular for its larger space, tasty food, and great service.
For more options, check out some of our favorite local sports bars in the area.
Get Bengals tickets while you can
Games will likely sell out by game time, so plan ahead and get your tickets through Ticketmaster. All t ickets are mobile , so you’ll also need to download the Bengals smartphone app to access, transfer, and present your tickets at the gate.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor to town, this is the year to root the Bengals on to (hopefully) their next Super Bowl appearance. With the new Paycor Stadium upping the ante this year, catching a live game will be more fun than ever before. So get your friends together or take the family out to one of the most exciting sporting events Cincy has to offer. Who Dey!

Cincinnati Bengals outclass Buffalo Bills in a Sunday Night Football win

The Cincinnati Bengals are past the point of proving themselves and measuring the quality of the team against other contenders. When they beat the Buffalo Bills, 24-18, on Sunday Night Football at Paycor Stadium, the Bengals played the type of game that they’ve been winning for three years.
Efficiency, accuracy and aggressiveness from quarterback Joe Burrow? Check. A standout performance by a star wide receiver? Check. A complex defensive game plan executed to near perfection? Check. A clutch turnover in the red zone? Check.
It doesn’t matter anymore that it’s a primetime game against an elite quarterback and a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
In front of a sell-out crowd, the Bengals outclassed the Bills.
“These are the stages (we) want to be on,” Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said. “They don’t shy away from them. That confidence is earned confidence. It’s not anything phony to try to protect themselves. They trust not only themselves, but they trust their teammates to be next to them making those plays that win. The team is ready for the environment.”

Cincinnati stormed out to an early 14-point lead. When the Bills were on the verge of making a comeback in the fourth quarter, linebacker Germaine Pratt punched the ball out and forced a fumble in the red zone from Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid.
Burrow carved up the Bills’ defense in the first half. In the second half, wide receiver Tee Higgins made physical contested catches and Ja’Marr Chase caught a deep ball on a drive that gave the Bengals a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Bills made it a one-score game, and Burrow responded with a 32-yard throw to Tyler Boyd that put the game away.
Over the last four weeks, the Bengals have looked like a team that can do anything.
“The game plans have been amazing, and our quarterback is playing lights out,” Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. said. “We’re creating turnovers on defense. We’re a hard team to beat when those things are happening. That’s just facts.”
On the first drive of the game on Sunday night, Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. levitated over Bills All-Pro Jordan Poyer and reeled in a toe-tapping touchdown in the back corner of the end zone. On the Bengals’ final drive before halftime, blocking tight end Drew Sample juked around two defenders and dove into the end zone.
One week after the Bengals’ offense had one of the most efficient performances in the history of the franchise, the unit showed that it has even more ways to win. Smith and Sample joined in on the party.
As they took a 14-point lead into halftime, eight different receivers caught passes. Tight ends who have hardly given the team any production all year made game-changing plays. Burrow, playing through a cracked fingernail, made some of the most accurate throws of his career and completed 31 of his 44 passes for 348 yards.
“When we jump out on teams, we always feel good about our chances,” Burrow said. “Zac and our coaches come up with a great script early on to really attack.”
None of this is supposed to look easy for the Bengals. When they faced the Bills on Sunday Night Football, the Bengals matched up with another Super Bowl contender and the best quarterback they’ve faced all year in Pro Bowler Josh Allen.
The Bengals’ offense wasn’t close to its sharpest in the first half. False starts, holding penalties and a delay of game wiped a potential 14 points off of the board. The Bengals still took a 21-7 lead into halftime.
Taylor opted to take the ball after the Bengals won the coin toss, and they marched right down the field to take a 7-0 lead. Burrow picked the Bills apart over the middle of the field, and then he threw a perfect ball to Smith for a leaping 7-yard touchdown catch.
One drive later, the Bengals faced 3rd and 10 on the fringe of field goal range. When the Bills sent a blitz, Burrow showed the poise, confidence and accuracy that make him one of the best players in football. He led wide receiver Tyler Boyd on a 15-yard corner route toward the sideline, and Boyd dragged both feet in bounds to keep the drive going.
In these types of situations, most quarterbacks crumble under the pressure. Most quarterbacks try to escape the pocket and fail. Most quarterbacks can’t fit a pass into a 1-yard window where only the wide receiver can catch it.
Burrow isn’t like most quarterbacks.
“(The Bills) do a good job on defense disguising coverages, giving us different looks and bringing pressures,” Burrow said. “You have to be ready to adjust and adapt on the fly. I thought we did that really well today.”
The Bengals’ defense made one of the biggest stars in the NFL uncomfortable all game. In the second quarter, Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt read Allen’s eyes perfectly and made an interception as he backpedaled down the sideline. The Bills’ offensive line has been a strength of the team this season, and the Bengals’ defensive line constantly put Allen under pressure.
On the Bills’ first possession, they scored on an 85-yard touchdown drive. On their other four possessions in the first half, the Bills netted 37 total yards without scoring. The Bills entered the game with the second-best scoring offense in the NFL, and the Bengals’ defense was in control throughout the game.
“You’ve got to live for these moments,” Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader said. “We want these moments. We enjoy these games. We go out there and do our thing.”
The Bengals’ offense missed a few chances in the third quarter to ice the game. The Bengals opened the second half with two scoreless drives, including a fourth down throw that was 1 yard short of the sticks. But after Pratt’s forced fumble, the Bengals continued their trend of closing out teams as well as anyone in the NFL. A field goal from Evan McPherson put the Bengals up by 14 points with 8:08 left in the game, and Burrow’s deep throw to Boyd in the final four minutes put a stamp on the win.
Last week, the Bengals picked up a statement win over another Super Bowl contender in the San Francisco 49ers. Burrow’s efficiency, the star power on the Bengals’ offense and the clutch playmaking on the Bengals’ defense validated the team’s high expectations for the 2023 season.
Back at home on Sunday, the Bengals took care of business and outplayed another one of their peers.
“Our energy, attitude and finish have been there,” Brown said. “You see it on touchdowns to guys like Drew Sample. You see it on turnovers created with the ways our guys are flying to the ball. You see it on special teams. We have the ability to finish these games.”

What determines how much a suite costs?
Suite pricing varies widely based on a number of variables including league, city, team, opponent, time of day, day of week, and suite location.
Day of Week : In general, suites can be slightly more expensive during weekdays (Monday through Thursday) because those days are ideal for corporations to entertain their clients in a suite.
League : NFL suites are the most expensive by because of the limited number of games (8 home games per team).
Suite Location : While just being in a suite is generally seen as the most desirable and luxurious seat in the building, some stadiums and arenas have multiple suite levels. If this is the case, certain clients are willing to pay a premium to be in a lower level suite that is closest to the action on the field. We will give you details on suite location as we provide you with availability for the game you desire.
Does it pay to wait to book a suite until closer to the event?
With regular tickets, prices will often drop in the days leading up to a game. While every once in a while the same occurs with suites, in general, pricing does not drop before the game. In fact, because of the very limited availability of luxury suites, it is advised to book a suite well in advance, as suites are often not available at the last minute. In addition, in coordinating events for larger groups (suites can hold up to 20 guests or more), it is often necessary to give guests a longer lead time to confirm their availability to attend.
Are there additional expenses I should consider?
If you are hosting guests in your suite, consider allocating enough budget to order catering for your suite. Catering is typically not included in the price of the suite. Suite Experience Group clients typically spend between $1,000-$2,000 for catering, with some clients spending even more if they order significant amounts of alcohol.
Are there discounts if I buy multiple games at once?
Some clients purchase multiple suites in multiple venues at one time. Suite Experience Group can provide special package pricing for clients who buy three or more suites at one time.
How can I maximize my budget?
If you are working within a budget and trying to maximize your spend, we would welcome an opportunity to further discuss your goals for the event and the different options available to you. Please call us at 800-592-7043 or fill out this form to get started. We look forward to the opportunity to help you explore your options in renting a luxury suite.

Backstage with the Fugees: Pras on his hip-hop legacy as he awaits sentencing in conspiracy case
LOS ANGELES — It’s Sunday night, backstage ahead of the second Los Angeles show of Lauryn Hill and the Fugees' anniversary tour. It will be a few hours yet before Hill opens the concert with a solo set of “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” 25 years after its release. The seats in the arena are slowly starting to fill.
Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, a founding member of the Fugees, is sitting in his dressing room at the Kia Forum, watching the Buffalo Bills play the Cincinnati Bengals. Tonight is a celebration — of his landmark group, of all of the generations who have loved their music — and of his freedom, however much remains.
In April, the rapper accused in multimillion-dollar political conspiracies spanning two presidencies was convicted of 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, after a trial in Washington, D.C., federal court that saw testimony from the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio.
“Some of the lyrics, this art, is imitating my life right now,” he reflects on Fugees’ legacy and this tour, taking place 27 years after the release of the Grammy-award winning “The Score,” his rap trio’s second, final, and culture-shaping album. “Especially when I talk about feds and this and that.”
The “Ms. Lauryn Hill & Fugees: Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour” has dates scheduled through mid-December. Michel, who faces up to 20 years in prison on the top counts, doesn’t have a sentencing date yet. But, he says, he was never concerned about being able to do the tour.
“I trust the process,” Michel explains. He has a new attorney, Peter Zeidenberg, and is optimistic.
Last month, Michel argued in a motion for a new trial that, among other errors, his previous defense attorney used an “experimental” generative AI program to help write closing statements. In the closings, the attorney appeared to confuse key elements of the case and misattributed lyrics — “Every single day, every time I pray, I will be missing you” — to the Fugees instead of Diddy, according to the motion for a new trial.
“Obviously there’s been a little bit of progress, so we’ll see what happens,” Michel says.
Despite that run-in with artificial intelligence, though, he hasn’t soured on the concept: The world needs to recognize the technology is in “its infancy stage,” Michel says, and there’s a long way to go. “It’s the future.”
Outside his dressing room, the narrow hallways of the famed Inglewood venue are full of excited spectators made up of friends, family, fans — including an ecstatic Tiffany Haddish. Wyclef Jean’s room quickly becomes the center of the party, with Drake’s “Started from the Bottom” playing over a loudspeaker as he shows off his performing fit.
Far too often, reunions feel like cheap plays at nostalgia — not so much a celebration of the great work that came a couple decades prior, but an attempt at capitalizing on collective memory. There is no such sentiment here. When Jean, the third member of the Fugees, thinks about the way these performances affect him, it’s a homecoming — and the result of many years of hard work.
“If you ever created a band like in high school the first year of college, that’s what it feels like. So, like the Beatles , for example. It’s almost like you rehearse all your life through high school so you never have to rehearse again,” he says. “And tonight is monumental, because the arena we’re playing here, this is (where) the early Lakers (played). And so that’s how I always explain the Fugees. You know, I said, it’s like Showtime Lakers.”
The Fugees’ message is prescient, too — Michel points out a song like “Mask,” and its resonance with members of a younger generation who have gone through the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s almost like we prophesized a lot of things,” he says.
So how does a group know when they’ve got some magic? That a reunion tour is truly special? Jean compares it to a mountain — people don’t see the “combustions” that formed it over years — only “the end result, which is beautiful,” he says.
“And that’s sort of like how music is made,” Jean says. “So, when you make music that’s vulnerable, whether it is Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire , the Fugees, Nas’ ‘Illmatic,’ 50 Cent’s ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ it’s going to always last forever.”
Close to 10 p.m., Hill emerges. She is awarded a plaque for “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” receiving diamond RIAA status; quotes from bell hooks appear on the screen behind her. In the first of many surprises, Nas appears on stage to perform “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That).”
Hill is joined by Jean and Michel, and it is as if no time had passed. Then Cypress Hill’s B-Real comes out, as does Lil Wayne for “Ready or Not” and “A Milli.”
Afterward, fans pour out into the night. Nearby, rapper Travis Scott’s show is wrapping up at SoFi Stadium. The two audiences weave into one in the street; here are the past, present, and future of hip-hop, intertwined.
