Bills vs Bengals Preview | Week 14 (2025)

Originally aired on WIVB+, Center Stage with Eric Wood. Each week, Eric Wood brings you exclusive Bills insight, analysis, and behind-the-scenes perspective from inside the locker room.

In this Week 14 episode, Eric and Josh Reed go deep on Sunday night’s massive showdown with Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. They break down why the Bengals offense looks completely different with a healthy Burrow, how Ja’Marr Chase and Chase Brown are racking up explosive YAC, and why tackling — not just coverage — will decide whether Buffalo leaves Highmark with a statement win.

The guys also discuss:

• Can the Bills’ pass defense (one of the league’s best since the bye) hold up against Cincy’s loaded WR room?
• Keys to slowing down a suddenly hot Bengals run game
• Why the absence of Trey Hendrickson actually helps Josh Allen & Co.
• Ed Oliver’s encouraging practice footage and realistic return timeline
• Joey Bosa’s hamstring, the pass-rush crisis, and creative ways Bobby Babich might have to get pressure
• Shaq Thompson’s monster season vs. Terrel Bernard’s eventual return — who plays more down the stretch?
• Ray Davis stepping up, James Cook’s workload, and why gap-scheme runs are unlocking the rookie
• Should Bills fans root for the Chiefs over the Texans this weekend? (Eric settles the debate)
