Week 13’s 26-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers may have been a season-saving victory for the Buffalo Bills.They alternated wins and losses for the last four weeks leading up to the game, and Buffalo needed a win badly to stay in the AFC playoff race.

Bills coach Sean McDermott listed edge rusher Joey Bosa as being week to week because of a hamstring issue that will further impact Buffalo's already injury-depleted defense.

Bills edge rusher Joey Bosa is one of three players not practicing in Buffalo ahead of their Week 14 clash with the Bengals.

The Bills will not have two of their key defensive players when they take on the Bengals this weekend.

The Buffalo Bills signed Joey Bosa to a one-year, $12.6 million contract this past offseason, hoping for an impact from the longtime Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher. One play might have justified the entire deal.

"Just seeing how he studies, picking his brain on certain things, having that communication, just knowing what helps each of us, what we need from each other to make each other better." Thompson and the Bills defense has played some of its best football this season against AFC opponents.

Bills defensive end Joey Bosa came up with one of the biggest plays in Sunday's win over the Steelers when he forced an Aaron Rodgers fumble on the first play of the third quarter, but his outlook for Week 14's game against the Bengals is uncertain.
