Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott will start QB Josh Allen briefly in their final game, prioritizing playoff prep.

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott will start quarterback Josh Allen in their Week 18 game against the New England Patriots, but only for a short duration. This decision aims to preserve Allen's streak of consecutive starts and ensure his health for the playoffs, despite the game being meaningless for playoff implications. Allen has had a strong season with a 13-3 record, making a strong case for MVP. The Bills, now locked into the No. 2 seed in the AFC, are focusing on resting key players and preparing for their playoff run.
