Buffalo prevailed 23-17 in Atlanta, riding a ballooning air attack while the Falcons’ weapons were thinned by injuries. Eddie Yarbrough applied steady pressure on Matt Ryan, and Micah Hyde snared two interceptions as Buffalo smothered Atlanta’s offense without its top receivers. Charles Clay erupted for 112 yards, Jordan Matthews delivered the TD, and Tyrod Taylor efficient in the passing game as LeSean McCoy stalled on the ground.

Stephen Hauschka iced the win with three fourth-quarter FGs, including a 56-yarder, sealing a defining upset that echoed Buffalo’s playoff drought-breaking moment. Though the upcoming schedule brings tougher tests, the Bills carried a blueprint: balance between aerial attack and stout defense, with a kicker willing to win late games. Now they face the Patriots with a clear, fantasy-friendly mandate.
