Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins missed practice due to an illness, putting pressure on the team before facing the Cleveland Browns.

Buffalo, which is the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff picture, is nearly a lock to make the postseason and have a clear path to pluck the AFC East title. The Bills trail the Patriots by one game with three games to play.

Three keys to a Buffalo Bills victory against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. The Bills will try to build on a three-game winning streak.

As the season enters it's final few weeks, Sean McDermott issued an update on how the team is managing Dalton Kincaid's injury.

But Allen and Buffalo were undeterred. Ray Davis had a huge kick return to open the second half, and Allen capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown to Dawson Knox. Then, the maligned Buffalo defense, shredded throughout the first half, got a three-and-out, and the Bills marched down the field again, with Cook powering in from 3 yards out.

The Bills have another lengthy injury list, but there was also some good news as Dion Dawkins is back from an illness, and Christian Benford may play.

Following last week's monster comeback on the road at AFC East-leading New England, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills (10-4) are in Cleveland to take on Shedeur Sanders and the Browns (3-11). The Bills trailed last Sunday 21-0 to the Patriots before storming back for a 35-31 win.
