Overview
- Kickoff is Monday at 7:15 p.m. EDT on ESPN at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with Buffalo 4-1 after its first loss and Atlanta 2-2 off an early bye.
- Coach Sean McDermott said Josh Allen is "just sore overall" but expected to play, while LB Matt Milano is not expected to suit up, DT Ed Oliver is trending toward returning, and LT Dion Dawkins is being monitored.
- Atlanta leads the NFL in total defense at 244 yards allowed per game, posing a test for a Bills offense ranked third in yards and points and a run defense ranked 28th against RB Bijan Robinson’s dual-threat production.
- Allen has two interceptions and a lost fumble over his past two games after an extended stretch with few giveaways, and Buffalo’s turnover differential sits at plus-1 entering Week 6.
- BetMGM lists the Bills as 4.5-point favorites, and off the field the Bills Foundation reported a record 65,100-pound Huddle for Hunger food donation.
