The Bengals may have failed to knock a ball down with triple coverage on a receiver and given up a 87-yard pass play for the game-winning touchdown, but the Choke of the Week still has to go to the Buffalo Bills, who blew an 11-point lead with less than 3 minutes left in the game against the Patriots. The Bengals lost because they were unlucky; the Bills lost because they were stupid. After giving up a touchdown, their return man decided to run back a kick instead of just kneeling on it in the end zone. Apparently nobody told him that the desperate Patriots would be trying to strip the ball from him, and when he coughed it up he robbed his team of a chance to burn some precious time off the clock and probably at least 2 of the Patriots time outs.
