Bengals’ upcoming road game against Bills has Ted Karras excited for an odd reason
Bengals center Ted Karras seen a thing or two playing against the Bills.
Playing against the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park is nothing new to Cincinnati Bengals center Ted Karras. The 10-year NFL veteran played the first seven years of career in the AFC East, and several trips have been made for games in Western New York.
The game is set for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The moon won’t be out, but Karras is still expecting a mooning nonetheless.
“I can’t wait,” Karras told reporters Monday afternoon. “I think there has only been one year out of ten where I didn’t play in Buffalo. Really excited.
“I am sure someone will show me their [expletive]. I’m excited to see it.”
You heard the man, Buffalo. Belts are optional on Sunday.
Bengals need to keep building ahead of another huge road game
Whether or not Karras bares witness to bare butts on Sunday, the Bengals are in no position to take their foot off the gas following their 34-12 Thanksgiving win over the Baltimore Ravens. Winning out and exiting the regular season at 9-8 does not guarantee them an AFC North title, so losing another game would be completely detrimental.
It’s up to leaders, such as Karras, to keep everyone in the one-game-at-a-time mindset.
“I think that’s how you should be as a standard NFL player,” Karras told CLNS’ Mike Petraglia. “But just even how we are right now and where we sit as a team, I think it’s just custom made for that. We gotta win these games to stay alive. And hopefully we get some favors from other people in our division, but it’s really shaping up. As long as we control what we can control, hopefully we’re there at the end.”
Cincinnati can control how its offense staying on schedule like it was in Baltimore. Karras snapping the ball to quarterback Joe Burrow for the first time since Week 2 saw the unit post 34 points and finish drives in the end zone in the second half once Burrow shook the rust off.
Offensive production will be needed against the Bills’ fifth-ranked EPA/play and seventh-ranked success rate. Their lowest-scoring output at home this season was 28 points in their Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Sunday should be another high-scoring affair. Karras can be sure of that like he’s sure of other things on his mind.
