Cincinnati Bengals advance past Baltimore Ravens to Divisional Round meeting with Buffalo
The Cincinnati Bengals - back-to-back AFC North champions - have won a playoff game in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history.
Up next: the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday at 3 p.m. Eastern in a Divisional Round game.
The highlight of the Bengals' 24-17 win against Baltimore undoubtedly was defensive end and former Moeller High School standout Sam Hubbard's fumble recovery and 98-yard return in the fourth quarter.

Joe Burrow: "that's what it looks like... It's going to be ugly. All that matters is the win."
"(Sam) actually did look pretty fast."— Charlie Goldsmith (@CharlieG__) January 16, 2023

That’s a very familiar path to a playoff win by the Bengals.
Overcoming a shaky offensive line. Some terrific plays from Burrow. And clutch, timely plays by a defense that executed when it mattered most.— Charlie Goldsmith (@CharlieG__) January 16, 2023
