CINCINNATI — An already banged-up Buffalo Bills defense suffered another loss in the second quarter of Sunday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, when starting middle linebacker Terrel Bernard was knocked out of the game with a concussion.
Bernard initially received attention from athletic trainers just over halfway through the second quarter after a scramble by Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, a play that Bernard was not involved in.
After talking with athletic trainers on the sideline for multiple minutes, Bernard then went into the medical tent and later walked into the locker room with a towel on his head.
He was officially ruled out at halftime. Overall, the Bills defense has had mixed success limiting the Bengals offense, giving up 21 points in the first half.
