It was another multi-turnover day for the Bills defense. All the offense needed to do was take advantage.

But they didn't.

The Bills fell to the Bengals Sunday afternoon, 20-16, to fall to 3-2 on the season.

Micah Hyde recorded his 4th interception on the year, a league leading stat, while Jordan Poyer had an interception and a fumble recovery. 

The Bills offense once again struggled while also losing Charles Clay early in the game. Nick O'Leary stepped up at the tight end position, recording 5 receptions for 54 yards. Brandon Tate scored the lone touchdown of the game.

Running back LeSean McCoy was once again held to less than 100 yards on the ground. He carried the ball 19 times for less than 70 yards.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor finished 20-of-37 for 166 yards and a touchdown. His lone interception proved to be the game ender on a 3rd & 15 play with 2:18 left in the game.

The Bills take a week off before returning to action on Saturday, October 22nd. They'll host Tampa Bay at New Era Field.
