Here’s a glance at three games around the league.
Atlanta Falcons (7-8) at Buffalo Bills (9-6)
Noon (CT) Sunday | Highmark Stadium | FOX (regional broadcast)
Outlook: The Falcons face a must-win to keep their faint playoff hopes visible. The Bills can clinch a playoff berth with a win and a loss by Baltimore or losses by the Chargers and Raiders. Buffalo controls its own path to winning the AFC East if it wins out, even if New England does as well.
QB Matt Ryan enters with 366 career touchdowns, tied with Eli Manning for ninth all-time. Ryan’s next touchdown will break the tie and make him the fifth player in NFL history with 20-plus touchdown passes in 13 consecutive seasons.
RB Cordarrelle Patterson has career highs in rushing yards (579), receiving yards (523) and scrimmage touchdowns (11 — six rushing, five receiving).
LB Foyesade Oluokun ranks second in the NFL with 166 tackles and is one of four players with 10-plus tackles in 10 different games this season.
QB Josh Allen last week recorded his fifth career game with 300-plus passing yards and at least 50 rushing yards, the second-most all-time.
WR Stefon Diggs is just the second player in Bills franchise history with 1,000 receiving yards in consecutive seasons, joining Stevie Johnson (2010-12).
S Micah Hyde recorded six tackles and two interceptions last week for his second career game with a pair of picks.
