The Buffalo Bills were able to run out the clock with ease in a 29-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons, but the afternoon was marred by a late-game injury to offensive lineman Ryan Bates. Bates, starting his second game of the year and helping the team pile up 233 rushing yards on the day, had to be replaced in the lineup with 3:21 left in the game.
According to Bills head coach Sean McDermott, Bates is “day-to-day” with a knee injury. That’s great news, all things considered. It means Bates has a chance to play in the season finale if his practice week goes well, and he should be available for the playoffs.
