The Buffalo Bills will look to bounce back following their first loss of the 2025 campaign in a Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Bills suffered an upset defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots last week to fall to 4-1. Making that loss worse, Patriots fans are now pumping their chests and believe they're team is catching up to Buffalo's perennial AFC East dominance.

Buffalo's chance at redemption against New England, which comes in Week 15, can't come fast enough.

The Falcons are coming out of their bye with a 2-2 record and have yet to put together even a two-game winning streak this season after alternating wins and losses over their first four. Atlanta did, however, notch a win before the bye.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News: Bills 27, Falcons 20

Iyer: "The Bills won't be caught off guard in prime time again and the Falcons tend to be too up-and-down with their young offensive weapons to keep up with Josh Allen and James Cook on the indoor fast track."
