Oct 5, 2025; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) drops back to pass against the New England Patriots during the first half at Highmark Stadium.

It may be Monday but the NFL's Week 6 action is far from over.

A pair of games remain this week, including a battle between an AFC power and an NFC South team fresh off a bye.

The Buffalo Bills (4-1) are one week removed from their first loss of the season in prime time against the New England Patriots. Reigning MVP Josh Allen and company scored 10 consecutive points in the fourth quarter to tie the game 20-20. But the Bills defense couldn't hold off the Patriots as they got within field goal range and won on a 52-yard kick with 15 seconds left in the game.

They've had some time to regroup after playing four games at home in the first five weeks. Tonight they've traveled south to Atlanta for their next prime time matchup.

The Falcons (2-2) had Week 5 off following a bounce-back win over the Washington Commanders in Week 4. That win over the reigning conference runner-up cleansed the palate from a 30-0 drubbing to Carolina in Week 3.

It's only been four games but the Falcons' defense has been one of the surprises of the season so far. Atlanta's unit ranks first in fewest yards allowed (244.0) and fewest passing yards allowed (135.0) per game.

Allen will certainly put that unit to the test. Here's everything you need to get ready for the Bills and Falcons tonight in primetime.
