As the clock began to wind down on Buffalo's attempt to come back against Cincinnati, defensive back Eli Apple came up clutch for the Bengals, swatting away a fourth-down pass in the end zone that would have cut into the Bengals' 17-point lead. Apple also added six tackles on the day, and the Bengals would hold on for the 27-10 victory in snowy Buffalo on Jan. 22, 2023, to book their place in the AFC Championship Game the following week.
