Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirms zero defensive changes will be made after Week 6 loss to Falcons
‘The Bills allowed north of 200 yards on the ground for the second time this season, as Bijan Robinson carved up Buffalo all evening. On top of that, Drake London had 10 catches for over 150 yards and a touchdown. Many were hoping the bye week would bring some changes, but Sean McDermott has said no changes will be made, and that Bobby Babich will remain the play-caller on defense.’

Josh Allen takes full blame for Bills' poor offensive showing vs. Falcons

Bills' DaQuan Jones and Joshua Palmer are week-to-week
‘McDermott said other injured players, including tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique), linebacker Terrel Bernard (ankle), wide receiver Curtis Samuel (neck/ribs), and linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) are all day-to-day with their injuries.’

Today in Bills stadium history: Oct. 15
‘2000 — Bills 27, Chargers 24 (OT) — The crowd was 72,351 for Buffalo’s wild comeback win against a winless Chargers opponent. Trailing 24-10 late in the third quarter, Rob Johnson threw a touchdown pass to Shawn Bryson, and led a 69-yard drive in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter (though a game-losing interception slipped through Junior Seau’s hands) setting Steve Christie’s tying field goal from short range. Johnson would then separate his shoulder on a Neil Smith hit early in OT, and after Henry Jones’ intercepted Jim Harbaugh, it was Doug Flutie putting the Bills (3-3) in position for Christie’s winning kick from 46 yards out. Eric Moulds caught 11 passes for 170 yards, Sammy Morris scored on a 32-yard run and lineman Jerry Ostrowski recovered a Jonathan Linton fumble for the only touchdown of his eight-year career.’
Bills say two players are week-to-week with injuries going into bye week, four players listed as day-to-day

Palmer had two receptions for 60 yards against the Falcons but left the game following his second catch after coming down awkwardly to the ground. Palmer went into the blue medical tent and was ruled out at the start of the third quarter.’
