Bills-Browns Week 16 clash tests momentum as Bills push for AFC East lead
Buffalo seeks to extend its division lead while Cleveland fights injuries and a rookie quarterback under pressure in December showdown
Buffalo arrives in Cleveland with momentum after a dramatic comeback, erasing a 21-point deficit to beat the New England Patriots and improve to 10-4.

On the field, Buffalo heads to Cleveland within striking distance of the AFC East lead, while Cleveland is trying to survive December. The Browns' rookie quarterback has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns, and the defense will face a Bills unit that thrives on pressure and momentum. Myles Garrett provides Cleveland its best pass-rush threat, sitting 1.5 sacks from the single-season mark, while only two defenders have reached that level against Allen this year.
Buffalo has built a reputation for late comebacks, leading the NFL with three double-digit comebacks and tying the franchise's largest road rally last week. The Browns have faced a bruised roster and a rookie quarterback still developing, with Cleveland hoping to stabilize December with a strong performance on the road. Garrett’s continued presence will be a major test for Buffalo, but the Browns will need more than one star to disrupt Allen.
Looking ahead to the postseason, Buffalo aims to extend its grip on the AFC East and build momentum into January, while Cleveland hopes to salvage something from a challenging season and finish December with a win. The game also has implications for the conference's wild-card race as teams jockey for position heading into the final weeks of the year.
