The AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills will try to shake off a week 5 loss to the New England Patriots when they travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons on Monday Night Football.

Here’s what you need to know about the MNF matchup, including how and when to tune in.

When do the Bills play on Monday Night Football?

Kickoff for the Buffalo Bills – Atlanta Falcons game is 7:15 p.m.

The Bills may be in for a test trying to contain Falcons’ quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

“While the Bills have an extra day to reflect and prepare for Atlanta, the Falcons had their bye week in Week 5 following a 34-27 win over the Commanders. It was the highest point total the Falcons have posted this season,” read the Bills preview of the week 6 matchup. “After losing the turnover battle against the Patriots in Week 5, Buffalo’s defense seeks to flip that script. It starts with overcoming a young but rising quarterback Michael Penix Jr., and dual threat running back Bijan Robinson.”
