Buffalo’s first game this year against an NFC opponent will be the primary 1 p.m. EDT broadcast for fans in the Buffalo and Washington viewing markets, along with most of the state of Texas, and pockets in Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and a pocket in Wyoming, where Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen played college football.

With the win, Buffalo improved to 6-2, its best start since starting 7-1 during the 1993 season.
