Typically, we would be looking forward to a Buffalo Bills game on a Sunday but this week, the Bills are traveling down to Atlanta for a battle with the Falcons on Monday Night Football. Buffalo got an extra day of preparation with this game being on a Monday night, but the Falcons are coming off their bye week so they have had plenty of rest.

Buffalo is looking to get back into the win column after being handed their first loss last Sunday night by the Patriots, but make no mistake, the Falcons are not a push over. Sure, they are 2-2 but they’ve also had to deal with some injuries and Bijan Robinson is looking like the best running back in the league.

Josh Allen talked this past week about how the Bills need to be better overall, and that should be including the offense that has struggled a bit in their last two games.

Atlanta’s defense is very tough. They are only allowing 244 total yards per game, which currently leads the league. Now they have the extra preparation for Allen and the offense, the Bills were already going up against a good challenge. However, a recent Falcons injury update may have just made life tougher for the Bills.

Falcons set to get back star cornerback for Week 6

After Tom Pelissero reported that Falcons’ wide receiver Darnell Mooney will be out, Pelissero then reported that Atlanta will get their star cornerback in A.J. Terrell back for primetime.

Terrell has only played in two games this season due to a hamstring injury. Now he gets back just in time to help this Atlanta defense try and shut down Josh Allen and the Bills. Buffalo’s passing attack has had their moments of making big plays, but they aren’t as explosive down the field like they once were.


Now, they will find a way to move the ball against this Falcons defense that gets one of their best players back. Joe Brady better come up with a gameplan that is different than last Sunday’s because if he doesn’t, then it could be another long primetime game for the Bills and their fans.
