BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills have lost three of their last five games, but quarterback Josh Allen says he still has faith in his team and believes they can figure it out in time to save the season.

Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bills offense continued to be an inconsistent roller coaster of events.

"We got a lot of unselfish players," said Allen. "Guys that will do anything they can to help this team win football games."

The Bills had a convincing first drive when Allen completed five-of-six passes, mixing things up with Stefon Diggs, Dalton Kincaid, and Khalil Shakir. Even better, Allen looked like his old self using his legs to power his way into the endzone. However, that spark was short-lived.

After the opening drive touchdown the Bills did not score again until they kicked a field goal with around 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

They scored a touchdown with a little more than three minutes left in the game but playing catch-up became costly, as the Bengals received the following kickoff and ran the clock out to end the game.

The Bills are now 5-4 and on the outside looking in on the AFC playoff race.

"We got eight games left, and we have five wins. The math there is not pretty. It's not going to be easy. But again, if there's a locker room that can handle this, it's this locker room."
