The Buffalo Bills starting QB Josh Allen, will play against the Cincinnati Bengals. While this seemed like a foregone conclusion, you never know what type of curveballs the front office is going to throw our way.

As is customary before gameday, head coach Sean McDermott opened up to the media about the team's injury status heading into the important game against the Cincinnati Bengals on 'Sunday Night Football.'

With that, McDermott announced that LB Baylon Spetor and AJ Kelin have both been ruled out for the contest. Outside of those two players, McDermott indicated that everyone else has the option to be ready to go.

With that, this means that not only is Josh Allen going to play, despite a nagging shoulder injury, but the team could also see the first games for a slew of new players who have recently joined the team.

Rasul Douglas, Linval Joseph, and Leonard Fournette could all see their first action with the team, providing a much-needed boost at each position. Brandon Beane swung for the fences and brought in some reinforcements and we could see the fruits of his labors sooner rather than later.

Obviously, the biggest thing here is the availability of Josh Allen as the team will live and die by him being on the football field. With Allen, the team has reasonable hopes for a Super Bowl. Without him, we wonder if this team would even be a playoff contender.

Luckily, the Bills Mafia won't have to wonder what a world without Allen looks like as he's more ready than ever to hopefully sneak into Cincinnati and get a win. The last game, as we all remember, was beyond ugly. This team will get a chance to right some of their previous wrongs with an epic showdown on primetime football.

Get your popcorn ready, this is going to be fun.
