Josh Allen Christens Buffalo Bills’ New Stadium with 5-TD Outing in 41-31 Win over Detroit Lions
Allen threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more as Buffalo scored on its first four possessions and improved to 2-0.
On Thursday, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Detroit Lions 41-31 in the first regular-season game at New Highmark Stadium, with quarterback Josh Allen scoring five total touchdowns.
The $2.1 billion stadium opened last month, and Allen made history on the opening drive by scoring the venue's first-ever touchdown on a 1-yard run.
Buffalo outgained Detroit 446 to 355 total yards, with Allen throwing for 248 yards and running for 69, while running back James Cook added 134 rushing yards.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns, though Buffalo improved to 2-0 while Detroit fell to 1-1.
Next week, the Bills host New England on September 27, while the Lions return home to face the New York Jets on the same day.
The Buffalo Bills play for the first time in their new stadium - and make the fans cheer early. The Detroit Lions have too little to oppose. A German even scores two touchdowns.
