Josh Allen leads Bills to victory in new stadium opener

Allen dominates early possessions

The quarterback oversaw touchdown drives on each of Buffalo's first four possessions during the match. He scored the first regular-season touchdown in the stadium with a one-yard run five minutes and fifty-one seconds into the opening quarter. A 43-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Josh Palmer followed that initial score.

Tight ends contribute in first half

Tight end Dalton Kincaid caught a 16-yard pass to reach the end zone before Dawson Knox added a one-yard touchdown run later. These scores helped Buffalo build an early lead against Detroit. The Bills defense held strong enough to secure the win by a ten-point margin.

Running back seals victory late

James Cook rushed for 134 yards and put the game away with a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Allen finished the night completing 20 of 31 passes for 248 yards while adding 72 yards on the ground. This performance marked his fourth career five-touchdown outing.
