Fireworks, 2 anthems and a full house: Bills host Lions in 1st regular-season game at new stadium
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen electrified his new home stadium, "The House that Allen built," on Thursday night with a stellar performance that included a record-breaking 5-touchdown game. Allen, who has now thrown for 83 total TDs in his career, cemented his place among the NFL elite by connecting with six different receivers and scampering for two more scores.
The Bills dominated their matchup against the Detroit Lions, outscoring them 41-31 in a crucial regular-season win. Allen's remarkable efficiency was showcased in his 20-of-31 passing for 248 yards, plus 72 yards on the ground. Despite the Lions' valiant effort, the injury-plagued offense could not generate consistent drives past Detroit's pitiful defense.
