  "account": "Josh Palmer, a former wide receiver for the University of Tennessee, scored the game-winning touchdown for the Buffalo Bills in their season opener against the Houston Texans on September 13, 2026. Palmer, who had only two targets all game, caught a crucial 34-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Josh Allen with just over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. The touchdown propelled the Bills to a 36-31 victory at NRG Stadium in Houston. Palmer had gone 680 days without scoring a touchdown in an NFL game prior to this play. Before his NFL career, Palmer played for the University of Tennessee from 2017 to 2020, where he caught 99 passes for 1,514 yards and seven touchdowns. The Los Angeles Chargers selected Palmer in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft with the 77th overall pick. In his sixth NFL season, Palmer has now accumulated 205 receptions for 2,624 yards and 11 touchdowns. Despite a decrease in playing time in 2025, Palmer's decisive touchdown in his first game with the Bills could serve as a strong start to a potentially successful season with one of the NFL's top offenses.",
