The Bills made some history on Sunday. They made their largest comeback in 13 years coming back from 21 down to defeat the Bengals 49-31. The Bills got out to an awful start trailing the Bengals 28-7 with 10:00 minutes left in the second quarter.
Carson Palmer started out by throwing a pair of touchdowns to Ochocinco and Owens. Benson ran for a touchdown from a yard out and Johnathan Joseph added a 21 yard interception return touchdown to put the game apparently out of reach.
But the Bills didn't quit just because they were down. They entered the half down 31-14 after a Donald Jones touchdown and a Cincinnati field goal. The Bills were absolutely on fire in the second half. Steve Johnson scored on a 28 yard touchdown pass from Fitzpatrick to make it a 10 point deficit and Drayton Florence followed that up recovering a fumble and returning it 27 yards for a touchdown lowering the deficit to 3.
Cincinnati drove down the field and appeared to have a touchdown pass from Palmer to Owens but it was called back due to holding. Later in the drive, Palmer through a interception to George Wilson who returned it 56 yards.
The Bills drove down the field and Steve Johnson added his second touchdown of the game to put the Bills up for the first time 35-32. The Steve Johnson show continued later as he added a third touchdown catch and Fred Jackson added a 30 yard touchdown to give the Bills the 49-32 win.
