The Bills had to fight hard just to be alive at this point in the season, but wins over the Chiefs and Cowboys have kept Buffalo’s playoff hopes afloat. Could another AFC East title also be in play? The Bills might need a win to hang with the Dolphins in the race for the division crown.
Fortunately for Sean McDermott’s squad, a win is what they are favored to get on Saturday night. The Chargers are down to backup quarterback Easton Stick, won’t have star receiver Keenan Allen available, and just fired coach Brandon Staley eight days ago.
Staley’s ouster might spark some life for the Chargers, but with the way the Bills have been playing, Los Angeles is facing an uphill challenge in prime time.

After a lifeless performance against the Raiders in Week 15, the priority for the Chargers’ defense will be stopping James Cook. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady has made a point of building the Bills’ offense around Cook, and the second-year running back has come through with five consecutive games of at least 100 scrimmage yards.
Cook was used so often in Buffalo’s win over the Cowboys that Josh Allen threw just seven completions, but Allen made it clear he doesn’t care what his numbers are as long as the team is winning. Right now, winning seems to be coming easily for the Bills.
