Bills Mafia wants its kicker.

Matt Prater has been reliable all season while filling in for Tyler Bass.

But as the regular season lines down, Prater is nowhere to be found.

Is Matt Prater playing today?

No, Matt Prater isn't playing on Sunday in Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

He's out injured.

Michael Badgley is the fill-in.

Bass hasn't played all season after being injured in the preseason and never healing up.

Prater is missing his second game this week. He has a quad injury and has been deemed "week-to-week" by head coach Sean McDermott.

Badgley kicked previously this season for the Colts.

In his Bills debut, Badgley made a 41-yard field goal and two extra points, but he did miss one extra point.

It's not clear if Prater will be back soon or not. The Bills would certainly like to have him by the playoffs.
