CINCINNATI — The Bengals are making an early statement in Buffalo, where the Bills have won 11 straight games in December and January.

Joe Burrow has missed just one pass so far and hit Tee Higgins on a 21-yard dynamo at the beginning of the second quarter to lead 14-3 on the road. It was a picture-perfect pitch and catch to spark a 139.6 passer rating so far.
