Bengals vs Bills live stream: game preview

When the Bengals and Bills met three weeks ago, it was billed as a potential game of the season. Joe Burrow and Josh Allen shooting it out for the first time, with Ja'Marr Chase and Stefon Diggs in the chief supporting roles. However, everything changed when Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field. As the teams meet again in the Divisional Round today, the hype is still there but there's a little more perspective too. The snow's coming down in Buffalo, and you can read on as we explain how to watch a Bengals vs Bills live stream online from anywhere – including FREE options in some places.

This matchup has shootout written all over it, but there may well be some ugly moments too. Despite entering the playoffs as two of the favorites for the Super Bowl, both the Bengals and the Bills toiled to victory last week against major underdogs led by backup quarterbacks.

Interceptions have been a problem for Allen all season, and so it proved again against the Dolphins. He threw for 352 yards and three scores, but also tossed in a pair of interceptions and three fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown that gave Miami the lead. It makes for worrying viewing for Sean McDermott and the Bills Mafia, who are still haunted by last year's Divisional Round trauma.

The Bengals didn't look a great deal better in their 24-17 victory over the Ravens, which was sealed with a touchdown from defensive end Sam Hubbard, but a depleted offensive line means their issues run deeper than the Bills'. Remembering the terrible knee injury he suffered in his rookie campaign, fans still wince whenever Burrow makes a break for it, and now Zac Taylor has seen left tackle Jonah Williams join right tackle La'el Collins and right guard Alex Cappa in the physio room.

This could be the game of the weekend, so follow our guide on how to watch a Bengals vs Bills live stream wherever you are.
