Bills vs Bengals live stream: How to watch NFL Sunday Night Football Week 9 online today

Tonight's Bills vs Bengals live stream takes two of the top teams in the AFC and puts them under the lights of prime time in Cincinnati. Josh Allen and the Bills look to avenge last year’s early playoff exit courtesy of Joe Burrow and the Bengals in this NFL live stream.

This game is the first time these AFC teams face each other since the divisional round of the playoffs last January. The Bengals traveled to Buffalo for that matchup and came out with a 27-10 victory. Burrow set the tone early, throwing two touchdown passes in the first quarter and Cincy never looked back. As for Josh Allen, that game was one he’d like to forget. He failed to throw a touchdown pass for just the second time that season and it as was the third time he posted a sub-70 passer rating.

Now the Bills (5-3) go on the road looking for their first back-to-back wins since Weeks 3 and 4. Allen has been bothered by a shoulder injury that kept him out of practice early in the week, but he's up for this game and ready to go.

Outside of dynamic wide outs like Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, one of the biggest problems the Bills could give the Bengals comes in the form of rookie first round pick Dalton Kincaid. The young tight end has yet to have a breakout game and this one could be it. Cincinnati’s defense allowed a 120.4 passer rating when tight ends are targeted against them, second highest allowed in the league.

The Bengals’ (4-3) offense seems to be hitting their stride after Joe Burrow struggled with a calf injury in the early part of the season. Over the team’s three game winning streak, Burrow has thrown eight of his 10 touchdowns with just two interceptions. Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is also back in the flow of things, averaging over 10 receptions, 124 yards and over a touchdown per game during the win streak.

Defensive end Trey Hendrickson leads a Bengals pass rush that has respect around the league as they have 21 sacks on the season. Hendrickson has eight of those sacks and has tallied at least a half sack in five straight games. The 28-year-old is also just signed a contract extension that will keep him in a Bengals jersey through the 2028 season.

DraftKings has the Bengals as 1.5-point favorites against the Bills. The over/under is 50.5.
