Streaking Cincinnati Bengals (5-0) will go for their sixth straight win in opening the new season against an injury-riddled Buffalo Bills (3-2) at the Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday for a Week 6 match of the NFL 2015 season.
The Bengals are coming off a statement win over last year's Super Bowl runners-up Seattle Seahawks, 27-24, where quarterback Andy Dalton led Cincinnati to come back from 17 points down and eventually win in overtime, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
Dalton and company pulled off the second-biggest comeback win in franchise history and to do it against an elite team like Seattle further stamps their case for a Super Bowl appearance this season.
Meanwhile, the Bills battled injuries to wideout Sammy Watkins and running backs LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams to escape with an improbable 14-13 victory over the Tennessee Titan at the Nissan Stadium last Sunday, via Heavy.
However, the bad news for Buffalo is that starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor may also be out in this game against the Bengals due to some knee discomfort.
If Taylor could somehow play through the pain, then the Bills may have a chance in handing Cincinnati their first loss of the season.
Prediction: Bengals win, 28-14.
