The Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals are two very entertaining teams to watch.
They are both led by young quarterbacks in Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, and every game they play produces some form of magic.
Tonight, these two teams collide on Monday Night Football.
As with every battle between two teams in top form, this should be an entertaining match.
But, as well as entertaining, this game will be historic.
The 23 combined wins from the Bills and Bengals entering tonight’s game are tied for the most ever entering a MNF matchup. The only other MNF matchup that included 23 combined wins was Week 16, 1997, when Steve Young’s 49ers wound up beating John Elway’s Broncos 34-17 on MNF.

The teams playing tonight’s game have a combined 23 wins this season.
12 of these wins belong to the Bills, while 11 belong to the Bengals.
According to Adam Schefter, these 23 wins tie the most ever in Monday Night Football history.
The other game to have 23 wins was the 1997 Monday night matchup between the San Francisco 49ers, led by Steve Young, and the Denver Broncos, led by John Elway, in a game in which the 49ers would win 34-17.
However, while the 49ers won this game, it would be the Broncos who would win that season’s Super Bowl.
Is this an omen for the teams playing tonight?
It is possible that this game could be a preview of this year’s AFC Championship.
Both teams have already clinched their spot in the playoffs, and are both still in the running for the top seed in the AFC, which is currently held by the Kansas City Chiefs.
However, the loser of tonight’s game will no longer be in the hunt for the number one seed, so this is a must-win game for both sides.
