Bills
W 39-34 vs Bengals · Dec 7, 2025
Misery Index · Miserable
Bills fans won by five and still want McDermott fired, the defense exiled, and Allen rescued from this franchise.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 39-34 win that somehow left the fanbase emptier than last week. J.Cook's goal-line fumble — recovered by CIN in the end zone for a touchback — erased a sure score, and the only reason it didn't define the game is C.Benford's 63-yard pick-six and A.Epenesa's interception bailing out a defense that let J.Burrow hang 34. J.Allen's 40-yard scramble was vintage HOF stuff. Beating Cincinnati shouldn't feel this much like surviving it.
What fans said

“McDermott is making the same mistake that he made in the playoff game, playing 10 yards off the receivers giving them easy throws. It's like he doesn't have the capacity to learn.”
