If the Buffalo Bills proved anything during Friday night's preseason home opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, it was the offense is capable of making - and giving up - big plays.
Running back Willis McGahee scored on a 61-yard run and wide receiver Lee Evans caught a pair of 40-yard passes, including a 46-yard touchdown. But those plays were negated by four Bills turnovers in the first half that the Bengals converted into two defensive touchdowns and pair of field goals.
Those 20 points made the difference as the Bills fell to the Bengals, 44-31, before an announced crowd of 49,488 at Ralph Wilson Stadium. "It was very disappointing. You can see what happens when you turn the ball over," said Bills coach Dick Jauron. "You can't win a lot of games doing that. Thankfully it's preseason."
