CINCINNATI — The Bengals upset the Buffalo Bills 27-10 as six-point underdogs this past January to advance to the AFC Championship Game thanks to a well-executed plan in the snow and great defense.

Former Bills, now Colts wide receiver Isaiah Mckenzie described how Buffalo ran plays that may have been too difficult in the elements.

"The Bengals ran basic routes, maybe we should've did that, ran basic routes," McKenzie explained to Go Long's Tyler Dunne. "Like out routes, go balls, you know, instead of running routes that you have to be going lateral or coming back to the football, or turning and running curls and things like that. If we were in a dome it would have been a totally different game."

Cincinnati forced Josh Allen to go 25-of-42 passing, his second-most incompletions during the 2022-23 season. McKenzie finished with 2 catches for 10 yards in the loss.

Hindsight is 20/20 as the Bills share top-five status with the Bengals among teams with the best odds to win Super Bowl LVIII.
