Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season consists of a double dose of “Monday Night Football” action, and it begins when the Atlanta Falcons host the Buffalo Bills at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta, which one in Week 4, is coming off an early bye and enters Week 6 with a 2-2 record. Buffalo, on the other hand, is coming off its first loss of the season, losing to the New England Patriots on a last-second field goal in a primetime spot on Sunday night.

The Bills will look to use Monday night to get back on track before they’re idle in Week 7.

While still early, it’s a big game for both teams, as the Patriots are making the AFC East, while the Falcons are in danger of falling well behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South.

With plenty of storylines swarming, The Sporting News is tracking live updates from Monday night’s primetime meeting between Buffalo and Atlanta.
