What channel is the Bills game on? How to watch Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals
ORCHARD PARK - The last time the Buffalo Bills were in Cincinnati to take on the Bengals on the night of Jan. 2, it was projected to be one of the biggest regular-season matchups of the season between two teams vying not only for division titles but precious playoff seeding.
And then less than nine minutes into the game at raucous Paycor Stadium, the football world - and really, the sports world - came to a frightening halt when Bills safety Damar Hamlin fell to the turf after making a hit on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins and went into cardiac arrest.

After life-saving CPR was performed by Bills’ trainer Denny Kellington, Hamlin was whisked off to University of Cincinnati Medical Center and the Bills decided that they could not continue with the game, and the Bengals mercifully agreed.
Ultimately, the game could not be made up, but as fate would have it, the two teams faced each other in the divisional round at Highmark Stadium and as we all know, homefield advantage did not help Buffalo in a 27-10 Cincinnati romp.
Sunday night, the teams will meet once again in Cincinnati and barring any medical emergencies, America should be in store for quite a matchup of two teams that are certainly Super Bowl contenders but who have struggled through some inconsistencies through the first half of the 2023 season.
