Buffalo Bills vs. Philadelphia Eagles Week 12: How to Watch, Betting Odds

The Buffalo Bills travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in a matchup between two top quarterbacks in the league.

The Bills head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles on Sunday, and most of the attention will fall on the matchup between the two quarterbacks: Buffalo's Josh Allen and Philly's Jalen Hurts.

Allen plays with emotion, while Hurts is known to stay even-keeled. “Never get too high, never get too low,” Hurts said. “I embrace all of the ways I play the game, and as I climb as a player and leader, I want to be the best version of myself.”

Whatever Hurts is doing, he's doing it right. He's led the Eagles to 26 wins in his last 28 starts in the regular season. He showed his versatility in Monday night's 21-17 win over the Chiefs. Without putting up big numbers statistically, he managed the game well and made key plays when he needed to.

“He’s a really tough player to go against,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “He’s playing at a high, high level. And he uses not only his arm but his feet. And it’s tough to defend whether it be any situation, you name it, red zone, third down, two-minute and beyond.”

Allen offers many of the same challenges to opposing defenses. His 22 touchdown passes led the league entering Week 12, but he's struggled mightily with turnovers. His 12 interceptions also led the league. 

Allen has thrown at least one interception in seven straight games. His struggles combined with the poor offensive performance led to the firing of offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. The Bills responded by routing the Jets 32-6 last week.

Allen responded by throwing three touchdowns, including an 81-yard toss to Khalil Shakir.

“I feel like I play with my emotions on my sleeve and maybe I’ve been masking that the last few games or throughout this season," Allen said. “But I need to let my guys know how much I care about this game and how much I care about them.”
