Nov. 2, 2023 – STAMFORD, Conn. On Week 9 of NBC’s Sunday Night Football, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (4-3) take on Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills (5-3) in a rematch of the AFC Divisional Playoff game from the previous season. Football Night in America kicks off the coverage at 7 p.m. ET on NBC, Peacock, and Universo. Kickoff from Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, occurs at 8 p.m. ET.
Last week, the Bengals defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31–17 to win three straight. After throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns, Burrow now has 16 career games with three or more touchdown passes, which ties him for the fifth-most in his first four NFL seasons with Peyton Manning and Dak Prescott.
Last Thursday, the Bills defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24–18. Allen ran for 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground in addition to throwing for 324 yards and two touchdowns. With 43 career rushing touchdowns, the 2018 first-round pick is now tied for second place among quarterbacks in the NFL all-time list with Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Young, and the only quarterback behind 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton (75).
With just 22 receptions, Allen’s top target, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, will surpass DeAndre Hopkins (789) as the player with the most catches in league history before turning 30. Diggs, an NFL receiving leader with 64 receptions, turns 30 on November 29. He is a two-time All-Pro.
The Bills have a narrow 17-16 advantage over the Bengals in the all-time series. Also, on Sunday
