Bills...33 Bengals...21

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Marshawn Lynch and the Buffalo Bills’ popgun offense finally found an opponent they could dominate. The rookie running back threw for a touchdown and ran for another, sparking a 33-21 win over demoralized, defensively lax Cincinnati Bengals.

Lynch had a career-best 153 yards rushing, including a 56-yard touchdown that put the game away with 2:22 remaining. He also had an eight-yard touchdown pass to Robert Royal to put the Bills ahead for good, 26-21, with six minutes left.

The Bills (4-4) won their third in a row, their best stretch since winning six straight in 2004.

The Bengals (2-6) lost for the sixth time in seven games, and also might have lost receiver Chad Johnson, who was carted off with 1:53 left after being hit by Donte Whitner and Coy Wire. The team said Johnson, who had his neck immobilized, had movement in all extremities.
