Thursday Night Football: Josh Allen accounts for five TDs in Bills' 41-31 win over Lions
Josh Allen made the first regular-season game in Highmark Stadium memorable for Bills fans. The quarterback threw three touchdown passes and ran for two in a dominant 41-31 win over the Lions. The Bills improved to 2-0, while the Lions fell to 1-1. Allen now has four career games with three touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns. No other player in NFL history has more than two (Kordell Stewart), according to NFL Researcher. Allen completed 20 of 31 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns. His scoring tosses went for 43 yards to Josh Palmer, 1 yard to Dawson Knox and 16 yards to Dalton Kincaid. Palmer has two catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns this season, having caught the game-winning touchdown in the win over the Texans on Sunday. Kincaid caught seven passes for a team-leading 95 yards. The Bills lost wide receiver DJ Moore to a shoulder injury and a stinger in the first half. Allen also ran for 69 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries, topped only by James Cook’s 21 carries for 135 yards. Cook scored the team’s last touchdown on a 1-yard run with 2:50 left to seal it. The Bills outgained the Lions 446 to 355, were 5-for-5 in the red zone and went 9-of-12 on third down. Buffalo scored touchdowns on its first four possessions and punted only twice all night. The Lions, who blew a 21-0 lead to the Saints last week before winning in overtime, fell behind 21-0 and trailed 27-10 at halftime. They twice pulled to within 10 points when the game was still in reach, but Allen and the Bills answered twice. Detroit’s last touchdown, which pulled it to within 10 again, came with 1:42 left as as Amon-Ra St. Brown scored his second touchdown. The Bills, though, recovered the onside kick. Lions quarterback Jared Goff was 26-of-38 for 327 yards and four touchdowns after a slow start. Goff reached 40,000 yards in his 153rd game, the sixth-fastest for any quarterback. St. Brown caught nine passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 16 carries for 52 yards and caught six passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Bills outside linebacker Greg Rousseau, who had two sacks and two forced fumbles in the season-opening win over the Texans on Sunday, had two sacks and a forced fumble against the Lions

Dalton Kincaid Has Streaming Appeal in Week 1
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid enters Week 1 healthy after making the most of a limited role in 2025. Kincaid caught 39 of 49 targets for 571 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games, averaging an impressive 14.6 yards per reception. The concern is whether the volume grows now that DJ Moore has joined Khalil Shakir in Buffalo's receiving corps, with Dawson Knox still involved at tight end. Houston was also a difficult matchup for the position last season, allowing 775 receiving yards to tight ends, or 45.6 per game, although eight tight end touchdowns kept some scoring upside available. RotoBaller ranks Kincaid TE15 for Week 1. His efficiency and touchdown potential keep him in the streaming conversation, but he is better viewed as a high-end TE2 than a locked-in starter against the Texans

Bills news: Previewing Buffalo’s pass-catching group
The Buffalo Bills are facing another season with high expectations, as former NFL MVP Josh Allen looks to finally lead the Bills to the franchise’s first Super Bowl in 2026. Entering a pressure-packed season, Brandon Beane finally did what many Bills fans have been demanding for a few years now: he went out and acquired veteran wide receiver DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears , hoping a reunion with Joe Brady, Moore’s offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers , will help Moore rediscover his ways as a 1,000-yard receiving threat. With Moore in the mix, Allen will now have Moore, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer , Keon Coleman and rookie Skyler Bell in the wide receiver room, joining tight ends Dalton Kincaid , Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes as the weapons available to Allen in the passing game. Has Beane done enough to improve Buffalo’s aerial attack? Can Moore bounce back from his worst season as a pro and become Buffalo’s first 1,000-yard receiver since Stefon Diggs during the 2023 season? Is this the year Kincaid realizes his full potential and stays healthy for an entire season? Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks attempts to answer some of those questions and leads off by previewing the state of Buffalo’s wide receivers and tight ends heading into the 2026 season. Check out the assessments and then be sure to leave your thoughts on how much talent is in Buffalo’s wide receivers and tight ends in the comments section. We preview Buffalo’s wide receivers—including what Moore brings to the passing game and whether Coleman can finally enjoy a breakout season—and dissect Buffalo’s tight ends, including why Kincaid is the X-factor to unlocking the Bills offense and how Kincaid, Knox and Hawes give the Bills a talented group of tight ends. Plus, discussing how Joe Brady will adjust to his new role as both head coach and offensive play caller; and how new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. will aid Brady and improve Buffalo’s offense.

Is he really the fourth-longest tenured Bills player?
That headline should serve as a stark reminder of the speed at which time flies in the NFL. After the firing of nine-year head coach Sean McDermott, the construction of a revamped coaching staff, the Buffalo Bills first-round pick from 2019, Ed Oliver, is now the fourth-longest tenured player on the roster. Can you list the three-longest tenured Bills? Third-longest is Josh Allen (2018, first round) Second-longest is Dion Dawkins (2017, second round) And the longest-tenured Bills player is long snapper Reid Ferguson , now 32, who joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of LSU after the 2016 NFL Draft. Heck, when Ferguson takes the field in Week 1, he will be playing for his third Bills head coach (Rex Ryan, McDermott, and now Joe Brady). Here’s a graphic to demonstrate: Hats off to Dawson Knox too… the fifth-longest tenured member of the Bills entering the 2026 season. One of the indisputable characteristics of the McDermott era was the coach’s unwavering reliance on familiar players regardless of age or amount of stops outside of Buffalo — think Jordan Phillips , Baylon Spector , A.J. Klein , Deane Marlowe, Matt Milano , Jordan Poyer , Shaq Thompson , Tre’Davious White, Shaq Lawson , Gabe Davis etc. Because of that, the 2025 Bills were relatively well-represented by players acquired in some way, shape, or form during the 2016 and 2017 offseasons. And many of those players were placed in key roles, in key games. Now, when Oliver steps on the grass at the new Highmark Stadium, he will be the longest-tenured Buffalo defender by two whole years over Greg Rousseau . I don’t know if Oliver has reached “Unc” status yet. But his inching his way toward it. Another indication of the Bills massive roster churning over the past few months — Rousseau, who only turned 26 in April, is the team’s seventh-longest tenured player

Skyler Bell a Late-Round Redraft Sleeper to Target Entering 2026
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell was one of the most productive pass-catchers in college football in 2025, recording 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns across 13 games at the University of Connecticut. After being drafted in the fourth round this past April by Buffalo, Bell has a chance to emerge as an immediate contributor in the NFL. The Bills added veteran wideout DJ Moore over the offseason to a wide receiver corps that also features Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and Keon Coleman. However, Buffalo has been searching for high-impact wide receiver talent for the last several seasons. If Bell proves that he can be a difference-maker with a strong showing this summer, the Bills' incumbent wide receiver options will not hold him back from seeing the field. As the WR106 by current redraft ADP, Bell is a late-round sleeper for fantasy managers to target entering 2026

Dion Dawkins: Josh is Josh, but everybody else has to be better
In eight seasons, Josh Allen has won the MVP award once, finished second once and finished third twice. Allen has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league since the Bills drafted him in the first round in 2018. He is headed toward joining former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Like Kelly, though, Allen has yet to deliver a Super Bowl title to Buffalo. In fact, Allen has yet even to win an AFC title. He is 8-7 in the postseason, including 0-2 in the conference championship game. Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins was asked about expectations for Allen this season, and Dawkins said the question shouldn’t be about the quarterback. “ I don’t have any [expectations],” Dawkins said on NFL Network. “I don’t add any more extra pressure to that kid that he already has. Josh understands what he’s doing, what he’s not doing. He understands what the mindset is and what we all expect. Just like we know what Josh expects from us, as well, to help him get there. When it comes down to it, Josh is Josh, and he’s gonna be Josh. He’s No. 1 for a reason, so I don’t think that we need any more expectations than we already have.” Dawkins said the supporting cast has to be better to help Allen get the Bills their first Lombardi Trophy. “It seems like we need all the pieces around him to continue to get better to help him get over that hump,” Dawkins said. “Because if Josh is No. 1, he’s at his best, right? If I’m not top 10 or I’m not No. 1, that means that I’m not at my best, which means I have to do better. Dawson [Knox], Dalton [Kincaid], Joe Brady, [James] Cook, everybody -- everybody has to do better. So we’re all going to be that and do that so we can get over that hump, and we can be exactly what we want to be and stop talking about it, right? I’m ready for it. It’s time.” Allen is 83-33 as the starter for the past seven seasons, with five division titles. It hasn’t all clicked for the team in the postseason, though, and Dawkins is hoping it’s different this season
