"Down three points with 5:35 left Sunday, the Bills had a 16.2% win probability against the Bengals. Cincinnati was driving, and answers were in short supply for the Buffalo defense. But then cornerback Christian Benford jumped in front of a Joe Burrow pass and flipped everything. He took it 63 yards to the end zone, jumping that win probability to 77% and propelling the Bills to a 39-34 victory that moved them to 9-4 on the year."
""While I was running though, I thought Chase was about to get me, I ain't gonna lie to you," Benford said. "At first, I wasn't really running running. I thought it was just me, and maybe like some linemen. ... I saw Chase like really running. I said, 'Oh shoot.' So, I really put my wheels on and thanked God he couldn't catch me. The rest of his history.""
Down three points with 5:35 left, Buffalo had a 16.2% win probability against Cincinnati. Cincinnati was driving when cornerback Christian Benford intercepted a Joe Burrow pass and returned it 63 yards for a touchdown, raising Buffalo's win probability to 77% and giving the Bills a 39-34 lead and victory, improving their record to 9-4. The play represented the biggest non-last-two-minutes win-probability swing in the NFL since 2016. Benford did not follow the traditional defensive-back instruction to stay on his feet and instead leapt to make the play. The pick-six was his second career touchdown.
