The NFL has announced its Week 18 schedule. The Buffalo Bills will host the New York Jets on Sunday, January 4, at 4:25 p.m. on CBS, marking the final regular-season game at Highmark Stadium. Buffalo will celebrate the finale by bringing back its red helmets and wearing a Farewell Season patch on their jerseys.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Eagles defense rose to the occasion Sunday, delivering a goal-line stand in the second half and surviving a two-point conversion at the end of regulation to help Philadelphia escape with a 14-13 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles (11-5) blanked the NFL's No. 3 scoring offense for three-plus quarters before Buffalo (11-5) struck twice in the final moments, including on a 1-yard Josh Allen touchdown run with five seconds remaining.

A limited-edition beer made with snow from Highmark Stadium, Blizzard Brew celebrates the great lengths Bills fans will go for one of the NFL's greatest traditions, the company says. This season is the last for the Bills at the original Highmark Stadium[JJ1.1], and NFL fans around the world have become very familiar with one of the venue's most iconic traditions: Bills Mafia shoveling it out following an overload of snow before an upcoming home game, it adds.

At this point of the season, monitoring the pick availability in your group is critical, especially in a week where one team projects as the overwhelming chalk. The Houston Texans are being picked in over half of remaining Eliminator entries early in the week. They are available for 58% of Eliminator Challenge entries, but that will vary for each group. The more teams that have the Texans available, the more valuable fading them becomes.

Among the biggest problems with the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Bills, a side from blowing a 21-point halftime lead, was the officiating. Although it's never ideal to discuss how referees may have impacted a game one way or the other, it's sometimes too big a story to ignore, and that is partly the case with this loss. Beyond the questionable pass interference calls, one of which took away an obvious interception by Marcus Jones, there was also a noticeable lack of penalties on the Bills.

"Our guys, they understand. They have a good feel for when they are and when they're not playing the way we need to play," coach Sean McDermott said. "And I saw Josh [Allen] as I was kind of bringing everybody up [at halftime], and he looked at me. I just knew he was seeing it like I was. The entire team was on the same vibe."

The Buffalo Bills will be getting some important linemen back for their AFC East matchup against the New England Patriots, with defensive end Joey Bosa and right tackle Spencer Brown set to play Sunday. Bosa missed last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals with a hamstring injury, and Brown missed the past two games with a shoulder injury. Neither had an injury designation on Friday's report, the last of the week. "It's good, yeah, we rolling this Sunday," Brown said earlier in the week.

Over the last few years, the Patriots have lost every member of the dynasty team either by cutting them outright or letting them leave in free agency, becoming the official sign that the best days are in the rearview mirror. That has led fans to hope some of them will eventually return after spending time with other teams, including a beloved cornerback who remains unsigned this season.

Will Harris' return from injury was always going to come with collateral damage. As it turned out, Darnell Savage Jr. was the Washington Commanders' odd man out in their safety room. Savage was a healthy scratch against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. This didn't sit well with the defensive back, and he asked for his release. The Commanders granted his wish, putting him on the waiver wire to see if someone else would take the plunge.

The Buffalo Bills will be without pivotal pieces of the offense when the team plays the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday as both starting offensive tackles -- Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown -- have been ruled out by coach Sean McDermott. They are dealing with injuries stemming from the team's Week 12 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown suffered a shoulder injury in the game and tried to play through it, but was unable to finish the game, sitting out the final drive.

The Bears now have five wins this season after trailing in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, tied for the most in a season since the 1970 merger, according to ESPN Research. Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams has five game-winning drives in the fourth quarter this season, the most in a season by a Bears quarterback since the merger.

Joe's a good coach. He really is. We've got a really good offensive staff. They've had really good games. You're gonna have some games you want back, some play calls you want back,
