The Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills kick off Sunday's NFL divisional playoff doubleheader. The two teams will meet with a trip to the 2023 AFC Championship Game on the line.

The AFC divisional playoff matchup in Buffalo has a game time of 3 p.m. ET Sunday on CBS. Viewers who can't watch the Bengals and Bills on the TV channel have the option of streaming the game with a Paramount+ subscription.

Sunday's game in Buffalo might be the best game on the divisional weekend schedule. It features arguably two of the NFL's best quarterbacks in Joe Burrow and Josh Allen.

The Bengals and Bills met in Week 17 in a highly anticipated "Monday Night Football" matchup, but the game never made it out of the first quarter and was ruled a no contest after safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field. Medical personnel at Cincinnati's Paycor Stadium saved Hamlin's life, and the Bills' player is recovering at home.

With the focus back on football, the two teams are finally ready to face off for 60 minutes, or more if need be. The Bills were Super Bowl favorites for much of the season. That changed following the Week 17 no contest, which allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to move ahead of Buffalo in the standings and secure a first-round bye.

Neither Buffalo nor Cincinnati brought its A-game to Wild-Card Weekend. The Bills escaped with a 34-31 victory over Miami and third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson. The Bengals were staring at a potential upset by the Baltimore Ravens until backup quarterback Tyler Huntley's fumble at the goal line was returned for a Cincinnati touchdown that propelled the AFC South champs to a 24-17 win.

Buffalo ranks second overall in scoring offense and scoring defense. The Bills have won eight straight games. Their three regular-season losses came by a total of seven points.

The Bengals enter the divisional playoffs on a nine-game winning streak, having last suffered a loss on Halloween. Burrow has a 4-0 playoff record against AFC opponents.

One year ago, the Bills' Super Bowl hopes ended in a 42-36 overtime loss against the Chiefs in the divisional round. The Bengals reached the Super Bowl and nearly won the championship, falling just short in a 23-20 loss against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Bills and Bengals are both seeking their first Super Bowl title in franchise history. Sunday's winner will only be two steps away from doing accomplishing that goal.
