The Bills will need a big second half to enter Week 18 with a chance to win the AFC East.
Jake Elliott’s second field goal of the first half came with eight seconds left in the second quarter, giving the Eagles a 13-0 halftime lead over the Bills in Buffalo.

The Bills appeared to be on their way to the game’s first points when quarterback Josh Allen hit wide receiver Brandin Cooks for a 50-yard gain in the first quarter, but Allen lost a fumble a few plays later. The Eagles used that conclusion to set up a 1-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts to tight end Dallas Goedert and the Bills offense made no other significant plays on their remaining possessions.
Hurts is 14 of 21 for 115 yards and connected with wide receiver AJ Brown for five of those completions. One of those came after Hurts evaded Buffalo’s pass rush on third down and set up Elliott’s first field goal of the afternoon.
The Bills will get the ball back to start the second half and things will start to feel dire if they can’t show more offensive momentum than they managed in the first 30 minutes.
