Josh Allen just dropped three touchdowns in the first half and ran for another, launching the Bills to a commanding 27-10 lead over the Lions at halftime in their new stadium. This guy is absolutely locked in, and the Bills offense is looking unstoppable right now. They’ve practically christened their new house with an absolute aerial assault!
Buffalo’s Offense Is Operating on Another Level
Allen has been dissecting the Lions’ defense with surgical precision, going 12-of-19 for 164 yards and those three scores. He hit Josh Palmer for a 43-yard bomb, connected with Dawson Knox for a 1-yarder, and then found Dalton Kincaid for a 16-yard touchdown. And let’s not forget he’s tearing it up with his legs too, racking up 40 yards on four carries, including his own rushing touchdown. Talk about a dual-threat! James Cook is also feasting, already over 100 yards rushing with 101 on just 11 carries. This Bills offense is simply humming, scoring on their first four possessions on drives of 85, 79, 57, and 68 yards. Kincaid, by the way, has hauled in five catches for 65 yards, showing he’s a key target.
Lions Scramble, Bills Face Early Injury Concerns
Jared Goff did manage to keep his streak alive, throwing an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jahmyr Gibbs, marking his 25th consecutive game with a TD throw. But that came with the Lions already down 21-0, which tells you all you need to know about the flow of the game. Goff is 11-of-16 for 128 yards and that one touchdown, but he’s been under constant pressure, sacked three times already, with Greg Rousseau bringing him down twice in what’s shaping up to be a fantastic start to the season for him. Gibbs is trying to make something happen for Detroit, rushing for 47 yards on eight carries and catching four passes for 40 yards. It hasn’t been all perfect for Buffalo, though. Tyler Bass missed an extra point, and they’ve got some injury scares at wide receiver. DJ Moore is in the X-ray room getting checked for a shoulder injury and a stinger, and Keon Coleman had his right ankle taped but did return to the field. Those are situations to watch closely.
The Bills have thoroughly outgained the Lions, 299 yards to 155, in that dominant first half. If Allen keeps this pace, the second half could be a clinic. Can the Lions adjust and mount a comeback, or will Buffalo simply keep the party going in their new stadium? We’ll find out soon enough.
