Seven Biggest Bills Takeaways From Big Cinci Win

Seven Biggest Bills Takeaways From Big Cinci Win

Author: Blue Wire December 9, 2025 Duration: 1:11:11

On this milestone 1,200th episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to go over seven of their biggest takeaways on the hells of the Buffalo Bills picking up a big victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Orchard Park to improve to 9-4 and tremendously increase the probability of making the post season.

Josh Allen played at the level vs the Bengals that made him last year's MVP. While winning the award for a second consecutive is almost surely off the table because of Matt Stafford, the guys talk about how Allen was the best player on the field in a game with a handful of elite players. They go over a few of those plays that should give any Bills fan confidence this is a team that can beat anyone if Allen's playing like he did this past week.

Christian Benford putting together an All-Pro worthy second half of the season, the tight end position continuing to quietly dominate opponents, Sean McDermott being aggressive when he knew he couldn't afford not too, the nickel/dime defenders in the Bills secondary having a terrible outing and emerging concern about star running back James Cook suddenly developing a fumbling problem are also discussed at length.

That plus how a few outstanding individual plays helped mask a poor overall defensive showing, what PK has been up to and plenty more! You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.
