These AFC North games are backyard brawls. While the Bengals are the much better team on paper, the Ravens effectively dragged them into the mud and made ...

Hilton is one of the best players on this defense and he showed it in that second half. The stage is set for the divisional round between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills. A quick reminder that the Bengals were 4-point underdogs in the divisional round last year. Hubbard returned the [fumble 98 yards for a touchdown](https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/allbengals-insiders-plus/sam-hubbard-scores-improbable-touchdown-becomes-latest-bengals-playoff-hero) in what is now the [longest fumble recovery in NFL playoff history](https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/allbengals-insiders-plus/sam-hubbard-scores-improbable-touchdown-becomes-latest-bengals-playoff-hero). The Bengals opted for a base defense to match those heavy looks which replaced him with a linebacker or a big nickel defense that replaced him with a safety such as Dax Hill for much of the first half. The Ravens schemed Mike Hilton off of the field during the first half of this game with a ton of heavier looks. He didn't have any sacks, but he did have a quarterback hit and had the play of the game on the goal line. Sadly, that seemed to take a massive hit this Sunday as he suffered a left knee injury in the second quarter and he didn't return. In a tied game in the fourth quarter, the Ravens attempted a quarterback sneak from the 2-yard line. He also made a few of the defining plays of that run including the 3rd and goal strip sack on Patrick Mahomes that nearly ended the AFC Championship Game in regulation. [ has been one of the most consistent players](https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/allbengals-insiders-plus/sam-hubbard-scores-improbable-touchdown-becomes-latest-bengals-playoff-hero) on this defense over the past year and a half. Baltimore's defense stepped up for them and they were able to move the ball on offense.

In the game that so many have longed for, the Bills will host the Bengals in the AFC divisional round Sunday afternoon.

On traditional radio, the Bills Radio Network has stations all across the state. Also, the NFL has a new streaming service called NFL+ which replaces NFL Game Pass, though you can’t cast the games to your TV - you must watch on your phone or tablet. With it, you’ll be able to watch every local game on Sunday and the national games on Monday and Thursday nights as well as the playoffs and the Super Bowl. ▶ RB Joe Mixon: Despite missing two games (plus not having the Bills game), Mixon rushed for 814 yards and also had 60 catches for 441 yards with nine total TDs. ▶ LB Logan Wilson: Led the Bengals with 123 tackles including 83 solo, and he also had 2.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble. Hubbard had 6.5 sacks and 53 pressures in the regular season. Yes, Karras has certainly been to Highmark Stadium often, and during his time with the New England Patriots he never lost to the Bills in their home venue, a perfect 5-0. ▶ WR Ja’Marr Chase: Burrow threw for only 209 yards Sunday night, but 84 of that went to Chase on nine receptions including a TD. We’ll be prepared, have a great week of preparation and be ready to take them on and go to the AFC Championship.” “I know the last time we played was a crazy circumstance, so it’ll be good to have that matchup. The next time the Bengals see Hamlin might come Sunday afternoon if he attends the AFC divisional round showdown and perhaps makes an appearance on the JumboTron while sitting in the owners’ box. That night two weeks ago was one of the scariest that players on both teams had ever experienced, at least on a football field.
