Bills' AFC East Hopes Complicated by Injuries as Patriots Enter Jets Game Depleted

Buffalo must win its final two games plus gain a Patriots loss to keep the division within reach.

Overview

Head coach Sean McDermott ruled out safety Jordan Poyer, defensive tackles Jordan Phillips and DaQuan Jones, and kicker Matt Prater for the Eagles game.
Josh Allen was cleared to play despite right-foot soreness, with McDermott saying the quarterback should be in a good spot.
Michael Badgley remains Buffalo’s kicker after the team worked out alternatives earlier in the week but made no signing.
The Patriots listed five starters out for the Jets matchup — Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Harold Landry III, Robert Spillane and Jared Wilson — with additional depth concerns noted.
The Bills have clinched a playoff berth but need wins over the Eagles and Jets plus at least one Patriots loss to capture a sixth straight AFC East title.
