Bills vs. Eagles: 5 things to watch for during Week 17 game

The Buffalo Bills are fresh off an important win.

All week, topics and storylines have been discussed ahead of this upcoming cross-conference clash. In the end, regardless of what is said by players, coaches, media outlets and fans, it always comes down to what unfolds on the field in the NFL.

And once it's game time, there will be a few particular things to look out for.

With that, here are five things to watch for during the Bills (11-4) versus the Philadelphia Eagles game in Week 17:

Urgency

Starting games has not always been a strong suit for the Bills in 2025. Against a top team like the Eagles, it could be pivotal to do so.

Taking it away

In the last four games, Buffalo has recorded seven takeaways. The defense getting hot in this area before the postseason could pay dividends... both against the Eagles and moving forward.

Josh bounce-back needed

Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a poor game last week despite the Bills beating the Cleveland Browns. He also sustained an ankle injury.

Is this a bounce-back game for Allen? 

Again, it's a good time for it.

Tush push

Whenever the Eagles are on the field, opponents are aware of the "tush push." Can the Bills find a way to shut it down again Eagles QB Jalen Hurts & Co.

Super Bowl measuring stick?

Both teams won't point this out, but outsiders will. This contest will be called a "Super Bowl preview" by many... does that raise the game of both teams?
