Bills 33, Bengals 21
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - Who needs to debate the Bills' revolving door at quarterback when Marshawn Lynch showed he can effectively fill two positions?
The rookie running back threw a touchdown pass and ran for another on consecutive fourth-quarter possessions, sparking Buffalo's popgun attack in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
No big deal, said Lynch, the first-round pick who has now helped produce six of the Bills' nine offensive touchdowns this season.
"Aw, man, it was high school. Pitch and catch with Robert Royal," Lynch said, referring to his 8-yard pass to the tight end that put the Bills up for good.
