Even though the Bills head into their bye week, they can focus on getting ready for their Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Buffalo Bills are in for a relaxing week as they head into their bye, enjoying a six-game winning streak. This break will allow them to rest and prepare for their upcoming Sunday Night Football showdown against Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers. After a brief hiatus from primetime, the Bills will once again take the spotlight in front of Bills Mafia.
Traditionally, the 49ers are among the league’s top contenders, but this season has been unusual for them. Currently sitting at 5-5, they are second in the NFC West and will face a challenging matchup against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. However, they are dealing with some injuries on their roster.
One significant injury for the 49ers involves star defensive end Nick Bosa, who has been dealing with an oblique/hip issue. Coach Kyle Shanahan noted that his status will be monitored throughout the week, according to Adam Schefter.
The Bills may have a fantastic advantage against 49ers in Week 13
While it’s too soon to determine if Bosa will be available for the 49ers in Week 13, his presence on the injury list could significantly impact his chances of playing. Hip and oblique injuries can take time to heal, so it’s possible Bosa may miss the primetime matchup against the Bills.
San Francisco boasts one of the toughest defenses in the league largely due to players like Bosa, Fred Warner, and former Bill Leonard Floyd. If Bosa is unable to play, it would give Buffalo’s offensive line a notable advantage. Although Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown have performed well this season, Bosa remains one of the top pass rushers in the league.
We still have more than a week before we get updates on Bosa’s injury, but it’s an important factor for Buffalo to consider. The game plan could vary significantly depending on whether Bosa is on the field or sidelined.
