Nothing is easy in the NFL, but the Buffalo Bills' road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers might be a little easier than expected. 

According to Wednesday's injury report, Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen missed practiced for a second consecutive day while dealing with a heel injury. 

Allen, a five-time Pro-Bowler, missed the Chargers' game last Thursday against the Las Vegas Raiders. 

Allen is the midst of one of the best seasons of his NFL career. In fact, before missing last week's game against Las Vegas, Allen was on pace to set a career high in receiving yards (and he could still hit that mark if he can return to the field). 

The former California standout has caught 108 passes (a career high) for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns so far this season. Allen is easily quarterback Justin Herbert's most dangerous offensive weapon. 

It's never easy to win on the road in the NFL, but it'll be at least slightly easier for the Bills to get a win on Saturday night if Allen is sidelined for a second straight week. 

This is essentially a must-win game for the Bills — especially if they're going to have a chance to overtake the Miami Dolphins in the AFC East.
