It wasn't an easy win for the Bengals by any means. Going into halftime the Bills had a 17-3 lead over the Bengals. Not until the middle of the third quarter did the Bengals start to show some life with a touchdown pass from Dalton to Gresham, leaving the Bengals trailing by 4. The Bengals defense did an awesome job in the red zone and forced the Bills to only get a field goal on the next play making it 20-13. The defense was vital in not allowing the Bills to score anymore points after that. On a crucial 2nd and goal, Andy Dalton took the ball in for a quarterback touchdown and Nugent getting the extra point allowed the Bengals to tie the game. The defense didn't allow the Bills to even get within field goal range again. Brian Leonard played a key role in rushing for a total of 29 yards on the last two plays to get the Bengals within field goal range. With 1 second to go, Mike Nugent made the 43 yard field goal giving the Bengals the lead and the win over the Buffalo Bills.
The Bengals so needed this win after almost winning against the Broncos two weeks ago and then having a not so spectacular game against the 49ers last week. Hopefully this win will show people that the Bengals aren't the worst team in the league and they do deserve to be given credit for their performance. I hope Carson was watching and saw that the Bengals don't have to have him in order to win a game against an undefeated team. Many people jumped off the Bengals bandwagon last week, wonder if they'll jump back on this week?
