New York Giants at Buffalo Bills
- Start time: 8:20 p.m. ET
- Channel: NBC
- Live stream options: Peacock, FuboTV
The Bills come into Sunday Night football following a loss in London and sit a game behind the red-hot Miami Dolphins in the AFC East. While getting to the postseason in the AFC is no easy task, Buffalo should have an easier time getting one step closer this week against a severely undermanned Giants roster.
To start the Giants woes, QB Daniel Jones is out after suffering a neck injury against the Dolphins in Week 5, giving Tyrod Taylor the start on Sunday Night Football. Additionally, while currently listed as questionable, RB Saquon Barkley could miss his fourth straight game after spraining his ankle in Week 2. Even if Barkley plays, he’s not back to 100% yet, and his contributions will be limited.
Furthermore, LT Andrew Thomas, rookie center John Michael Schmitz, and tackle Matt Peart are also out, with RT Evan Neal listed as questionable. New York’s defense isn’t suffering as badly, but the unit has struggled to stop much of anything this season.

QB Josh Allen and the Bills offense are set up for an easy victory. Buffalo has scored on 48.2% of its drives this season, while the Giants’ defense has allowed scores on 46.2% of opponent drives — third worst in the NFL.
The Giants are also pressuring QBs on just 18.1% of pass plays this season. While New York HC Brian Daboll will do his best to take down his former team, the Bills outmatch the Giants, given the circumstances.
