Bengals go into matchup with Bills with shred of hope from Joe Burrow's return

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals are on the road, taking on the Buffalo Bills after coming off a much-needed Thanksgiving win.

The holiday game marked the long-awaited return of quarterback Joe Burrow, who led Cincinnati (4-8) to a 32-14 win over the AFC North rivals, the Baltimore Ravens.

With hope in the air, Cincinnati is back on the road to face Josh Allen and the Bills (8-4), who beat the Steelers 26-7 last week.

Cincinnati has plenty to play for Sunday despite its 4-8 record. While a wild card berth is out of the question, the AFC North race is still very much up for grabs with Baltimore and Pittsburgh tied at No. 1 at 6-6.

Burrow, who will once again play with a carbon fiber plate in his left cleat, will have another receiving option back as Tee Higgins returns from concussio
