CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals will play the Buffalo Bills on January 22 in the AFC Divisional Playoffs in Orchard Park, New York, the NFL announced Sunday night.
Hamlin was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after suffering from cardiac arrest and needed both CPR and defibrillation by team doctors. He was released from UC Medical Center on January 9 and discharged from a Buffalo hospital on January 11.
The Bills and Bengals have met twice in the postseason with Cincinnati winning both times at Riverfront Stadium.
The Bengals won on January 3, 1982 by a score of 28-21 in an AFC Divisional Playoff game. Ken Anderson threw a go-ahead 16-yard touchdown pass to Cris Collinsworth with 10:39 left in the fourth quarter. It was Cincinnati’s first postseason win ever, according to the team’s website.
Cincinnati beat Buffalo on January 8, 1989 in the AFC Championship game, 21-10. Ickey Woods ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns.
The two teams have played each other 32 times, including those two postseason games.
Buffalo leads the overall series, 17-15. The last match-up was in 2019 when the Bills won, 21-17.
The Bengals and Bills will play Sunday afternoon, January 22, at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. The winner will advance to the AFC Championship Game and take on the winner of Kansas City/Jacksonville.
