Allen, Mayfield Trade Jokes as Bills Host Shorthanded Buccaneers in Week 11

Sunday’s matchup carries seeding stakes for 6-3 teams seeking a rebound.

Overview

  • Buffalo hosts Tampa Bay at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 16, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET.
  • Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid did not practice Wednesday, creating a potential larger role for rookie Jackson Hawes, according to local reporting.
  • Reporting indicates Tampa Bay’s offense is thinned by injuries, with Mike Evans out long term and the statuses of Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving uncertain this week.
  • Forecasts call for cold, possibly rainy conditions in Orchard Park, a scenario that could elevate the ground game against a Bills defense allowing among the most rushing yards per game.
  • Baker Mayfield joked Allen is “6-foot-10” with “small” hands, and Josh Allen quipped back that Mayfield “wears two gloves golfing,” underscoring friendly banter before the game.
