These are three reasons the schedule change over the next two weeks actually helps the Buffalo Bills.
As the Tennessee Titans reported more positives for COVID-19 within their organization, questions began to arise whether or not the Buffalo Bills would be able to play on Sunday as scheduled.
The NFL has already set a precedent of trying to play games whenever possible like the league moving the New England Patriots game against the Kansas City Chiefs from Sunday to Monday earlier this week.
This though didn’t seem like an option for this game due to the fact that the Buffalo Bills were scheduled to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night following this Week 5 matchup with the Titans.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the league has made a decision and plan to have the Buffalo Bills play the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday and move the Bills Week 6 matchup with the Chiefs back to Sunday.
Titans-Bills game scheduled for Sunday is being moved to Tuesday at 6 pm as long as there are no more positive tests with Tennessee, per sources.

Bills-Chiefs game being switched from next Thursday to Sunday but goes back it more positive tests in Tennessee, per source.
As Schefter notes, this is all contingent on the Titans not having any more positives between now and the game. If this moves forward as scheduled, this could actually help the Buffalo Bills and these are three reasons why.
