Bengals’ O-line decimated as they look ahead to Buffalo

Associated Press  

CINCINNATI — The Bengals managed to survive and advance. The Ravens sacked Joe Burrow four times on Sunday, the most since he was sacked five times by the Browns on Halloween in the most recent game Cincinnati lost before its current nine-game win streak. Jackson Carman, who has played guard since being drafted by the Bengals in 2021, replaced Williams to finish Sunday’s game and could start at left tackle against the Bills. In the Bengals’ 27-16 win over the Ravens in the regular-season finale, Cincinnati intercepted rookie quarterback Anthony Brown twice and recovered his fumble in the end zone for a touchdown. “It’ll be another juice game,” Bengals safety Jessie Bates III said.
