The Raiders hung with the Bills. The game was tied 13-13 at halftime and 23-23 in the fourth quarter. It never felt like the Bills were in danger of losing, though the Raiders never went away. Josh Allen led Buffalo to a 33-30 win in Las Vegas as the Bills moved to 5-1. The Raiders fell to 3-3. The Bills gained 345 yards, with 169 coming in the second half when they scored 20 points. Allen was 23-of-33 for 255 yards and two touchdowns, including a Houdini-esque 12-yard touchdown pass to Keon Coleman on third-and-8 in the fourth quarter. James Cook’s 3-yard touchdown run with 4:43 left was the go-ahead score, with Tyler Bass adding a 38-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining. Bass also made kicks from 44, 28 and 47. Coleman caught four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown, and Cook had 22 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown. The Raiders made it interesting on Kirk Cousins’ 44-yard touchdown throw to Tre Tucker with 1:32 left. The Raiders, though, didn’t have a prayer of recovering the onside kick, something they haven’t done since 2017 against the Chiefs. Matt Gay kicked a drop kick too far, and Khalil Shakir caught it in the air. Cousins finished 23-of-41 for 313 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Tucker had five catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns, and Michael Mayer added seven receptions for 95 yards
The Bills are in a battle with the Raiders in Las Vegas, and they will have to play the second half without safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Gardner-Johnson began jawing with Tyler Linderbaum and Brock Bowers before spitting in their direction. Officials ejected Gardner-Johnson with 14 seconds left in the half. The NFL could suspend Gardner-Johnson for next week’s game, too. His 14-yard penalty — half the distance — allowed Matt Gay to tie the game 13-13 with a 27-yard field goal on the final play of the half. Buffalo scored on its first three possessions, but only one of those was a touchdown. Tyler Bass kicked field goals of 44 and 28 yards on drives of 30 and 58 yards. The Bills’ touchdown drive went 85 yards in nine plays, with Khalil Shakir catching a 9-yard pass from Josh Allen. The Bills have outgained the Raiders only 176 to 170. Allen is 12-of-16 for 144 yards and a touchdown. The Raiders have sacked him twice. James Cook has eight carries for 36 yards. Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins is 12-of-17 for 126 yards. Ashton Jeanty has eight carries for 27 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches for 36 yards. Michael Mayer has five catches for 52 yards

Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb did not retaliate physically after Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson punched him in the aftermath of Buffalo’s Week 5 win in Los Angeles, but he did get disciplined by the league for his part in the altercation. The NFL announced on Saturday that Chubb has been fined $14,239 for taunting Jackson before Jackson took a swing at him. Chubb acknowledged that he initiated the interaction between the two men. Jackson was suspended two games for his actions, but the ban was reduced to one game after he appealed the punishment. He will lose $934,555 while sitting out Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Bills running back James Cook was fined $21,167 for illegal use of the helmet and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was fined $11,194 for unnecessary roughness. Rams defensive lineman Braden Fiske was fined $11,941 for a facemask foul
The NFL handed out numerous fines this weekend stemming from the Week 5 games, with the biggest single fine going to Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby
