‘The first game, played in Week 1 of the 1961 season, ended with the Broncos recording a 22-10 win. The star of that game was Broncos perennial Pro Bowl safety Goose Gonsoulin, who picked off two passes.’

‘As a matter of fact, let’s break down everything that went wrong for both teams over the final 30 seconds of the game.’

‘Here’s a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Monday’s matchup: The Bills have been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 370.2 total yards per game (they’re ranked fifth in total yards per game overall). It’s a different story for the Broncos , though, as they’ve been averaging only 302.1 per game. Will the Bills be able to march up the field at their leisure again, or will the Broncos flip the script? Check CBS Sports after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more NFL content.’

‘The Bills final injury report comes out on Saturday, and Diggs’ status will be one to watch. Diggs leads the league with 70 receptions, is third in receiving yards with 834 and is tied for second with seven touchdown catches.’

‘The Bills are a completely different team when they are at home compared to being on the road. At Highmark Stadium, they are a crisp 4-0 and are averaging 31 points per game while holding opponents to 23.2 points. When they leave Buffalo, that’s when their play drops off. In the five games they’ve played outside of upstate New York (including London where they were technically considered the home team), the Bills are 1-4 and are scoring at half the rate, averaging 14.3 points in those contests. They’re also still allowing opponents to score over 20 points per game (20.6).’

‘A lot of those struggles can be placed on the shoulders of Allen, who has seen a dramatic drop in production outside of Buffalo.’

‘His foundation, Chasing M’s, is giving 10 scholarships worth $1,000 for the next three years to those in need in the community. Hamlin revealed his plans for honoring those who made such an impact on his life during a dinner with the 10 medical professionals.’

‘When the Bills lose, it’s usually for the same reasons. That was again the case on Sunday night, as turnovers and a lack of a running game were two big reasons why Buffalo is just a game over .500.’

‘Hamlin, who was inactive on Sunday, returned to midfield once Paycor Stadium cleared out, and got a chance to reflect at the scene where his life was saved by medical professionals.’

‘Bengals 20, Bills 16.’

‘”Because he makes a lot of plays running ball, I think sometimes he gets used to and he wants to run it because he knows he can gain yards. There’s a lot of confidence in it,” Brady said. “But the only problem is, from my standpoint, you’re putting yourself in harm’s way. And when you put yourself in harm’s way, it doesn’t take much for someone to land on you to set you back.”‘

‘The Bills have specifically struggled in run defense, ranking in the bottom half of NFL teams through eight games. That’s Joseph’s specialty; the 329-pound veteran has long thrived as a gap-plugger on the interior.’

‘It will be an emotional moment when Hamlin returns to that very field, and while he isn’t sure how it will hit him, Hamilin knows that he will face the moment with his teammates and loved ones. Hamlin also feels a large amount of gratitude for those in Cincinnati who saved his life.’

‘Bills: B+…Packers: C-.’

‘The Bills lost running back Damien Harris to a concussion a couple weeks ago, and have been splitting the backfield entirely between James Cook and Latavius Murray. Cook is averaging 4.8 yards per carry and has improved his success rate as both a runner and receiver this season, per Pro-Football-Reference.com, while Murray is at just 3.6 yards per carry and is down to a 45% success rate, which is his worst mark since 2018.’
