Where to watch Bills vs Buccaneers: Time, TV channel, live streams for NFL Week 8 kickoff image

The Buffalo Bills (4-3) host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-3) on Thursday Night Football as both teams enter Week 8 on the back of defeats.

Josh Allen's Bills struggled in a divisional matchup against the New England Patriots as they were beaten 29-25 at Gillette Stadium, meanwhile, the Buccaneers were also narrowly defeated by the Atlanta Falcons 16-13.

For the Bucs, injuries have been a problem in recent weeks. Quarterback, Baker Mayfield has a slight knee injury but has said it's "not too bad", and their offensive line is already down two starters. 

Despite suffering three losses already, Allen is leading the way for the Bills and is tied with Patrick Mahomes for the second-most passing touchdowns in the league so far (15), only behind Kirk Cousins (16). He has also rushed for four TDs, which is something the Bucs will need to keep an eye on.
