Week 13 has delivered multiple memorable moments around the league, and the Bills and 49ers are looking to put their stamp on one in the final game of Sunday’s action. Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, was blanketed by snow over the weekend, but things should be clear for the game.
Buffalo returns from its bye and will look to keep pace with the Chiefs at the top of the AFC. Josh Allen has his team humming, winning six consecutive games while scoring 30 points or more in five straight. Buffalo can secure its fifth consecutive AFC East crown with a win on “Sunday Night Football.”
The visiting 49ers come into this showdown with a 5-6 record. For the first time since 2020, the defending NFC champs have a losing record this late in the season. Running back Christian McCaffrey will play in his fourth game after missing the first two months of the season and will look to make an impact against a Bills defense tied with the fourth-highest yards per carry allowed entering Week 13.
Quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to return under center for the Niners after he missed last week’s game against the Packers with a right shoulder injury. The Bills have afforded themselves a cushion in the AFC East, but the 49ers find themselves with their backs against the wall with six games remaining in the regular season.
