The Bills, however, responded with a late one TD receiving. Samuels also added another TD rushing. Bengals QB Andy Dalton was sacked eight times, the most in his nine-year career, and Cincinnati’s offense gained just seven-play, 78-yard drive, which was highlighted by a 49-yard pass from QB Josh Allen to 175 total net yards.

Rams. The two teams traded scores for much of the first half, before Rams WR Cooper Kupp caught a 65-yard TD on a Cincinnati led 7-6 at halftime and 10-9 after three quarters, but the visiting Jaguars double-reverse pass that gave L.A. a one-score edge at the break. But while the Bengals’ scored 18 fourth-quarter points to depart Paul Brown Stadium with a win, leaving the defense managed to hold the Rams to just seven second-half points, the offense struggled Bengals still in search of their first victory. The Jaguars gained 460 net yards, including 216 rushing, but Cincinnati’s defense proved stout in the red zone and held Jacksonville to just after halftime and was held scoreless in the final two periods en route to the defeat. Cincinnati couldn’t find an answer for Kupp, whose 220 receiving yards tied for the third- one TD on six trips inside the 20. Bengals QB Andy Dalton threw three fourth-quarter INTs, most ever in a game by a Bengals opponent. Bengals QB Andy Dalton tossed his 197th including one in the red zone and another that was returned for a TD. The Bengals’ offense struggled to find traction in the ground game, as HBs Giovani Bernard and Joe Mixon were career TD, tying former QB Ken Anderson for most in team history. Then, with :08 remaining and the game out of reach, Dalton connected with WR Auden Tate for what held to a combined two yards on 14 carries, and the Jaguars had nearly a 17-minute would’ve been the record-setter, but a replay review overturned the ruling on the field of a advantage in time of possession (38:17 to 21:43).
