The Cincinnati Bengals punched their ticket to the AFC Championship game following their convincing 27-10 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional round.

Joe Burrow opened up the scoring in the first quarter with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase to cap off a six-play, 79-yard drive. The reigning AFC North champions did not look back from there, as they orchestrated four more scoring drives over the remainder of the contest.

On the other side of the ball, Cincinnati’s defense logged one takeaway and allowed just one touchdown drive to the Josh Allen-led Bills offense.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is now looking ahead to a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game, and he sees that his team is quite ready for the biggest test of its season.

“We’re built for this,” Taylor said during his postgame press conference.

Cincinnati's offensive line once again rose to the occasion against the Bills in convincing fashion, as the unit kept Burrow's jersey clean and also won the line of scrimmage battle with relative ease. The group sure will now need to put together an encore performance against the AFC West powerhouse.

“To rush for over 170 yards in this environment, to handle the noise the way they did, to protect Joe the way they did, I thought our offensive line was outstanding,” Taylor said.

“And that's a credit to Duke (Tobin) and the way he's attacked the draft and attacked all the roster management to get the right guys in here so we can endure situations like this, (offensive line coaches) Derek Frazier, Frank Pollack, (and) Justin Hill, our running backs coach, they did a great job getting those guys ready and they executed when they needed to.”

The Bengals clinched a spot in Super Bowl 56 following their upset AFC title game win against the Chiefs last year. They also had the last laugh over Patrick Mahomes and company in the regular season thanks to their 27-24 home win in Week 13.

Overall, Cincinnati is looking to reach the Super Bowl for the fourth time in franchise history.
