Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are coming off a tough loss to Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. The Bills are sitting behind the Patriots in the AFC East and are now battling for a playoff spot. Buffalo has lost three of their last five games heading into Tampa Bay and will look to bounce back.
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have control of the NFC South. The Buccaneers have a four-game lead over Carolina, Atlanta, and New Orleans. Tampa Bay still trails Arizona and Green Bay, so Tom Brady still has some work to do on Sunday.
