BUFFALO ENTERS WITH MOMENTUM
The Bills could hardly have asked for a more encouraging beginning to the Joe Brady era.
Buffalo enters Week 3 at 2–0 after victories over Houston and Detroit.
But it was the 41–31 victory over the Lions that really demonstrated how dangerous this offense can become.
Josh Allen delivered a spectacular performance in the first regular-season game at the new Highmark Stadium.
Allen completed 20 of 31 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns without throwing an interception.
And that was only half the damage.
Buffalo’s quarterback added 69 rushing yards and two more touchdowns on the ground, finishing the night responsible for five total scores.
James Cook III provided another major dimension to the offense, rushing 21 times for 135 yards and a touchdown.
Dalton Kincaid caught seven passes for 95 yards and a score, while Keon Coleman added six receptions for 63 yards.
By the final whistle, Buffalo had accumulated 446 total yards and 203 rushing yards.
The Bills weren’t simply relying on Allen to perform miracles.
They were attacking from everywhere.
WHY THE CHARGERS GAME MATTERS
Los Angeles enters Buffalo searching for answers after an 0–2 beginning to the season.
That record, however, doesn’t mean Buffalo can afford to relax.
Early-season NFL games can change quickly, and the Bills are still trying to establish exactly what kind of team they will become under Brady.
The offense has already produced explosive results.
The defense still has areas to clean up.
Detroit scored 31 points and Jared Goff threw four touchdown passes against Buffalo, providing defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard with plenty to address during the extended preparation period.
That makes Sunday’s matchup interesting.
Can Buffalo maintain its offensive explosion while becoming more consistent defensively?
That may be the biggest question surrounding the Bills heading into Week 3.
ANOTHER BIG DAY AT HIGHMARK STADIUM
Buffalo’s new home has already experienced one unforgettable night.
Now Bills Mafia gets another opportunity to fill Highmark Stadium.
The Bills have announced a “Nickel City” theme for Sunday’s game and will wear their Nickel City uniforms.
Former Buffalo receiver Lee Evans will serve as the Legend of the Game, while Darian Sanders will perform the national anthem.
After the emotion surrounding the stadium opener against Detroit, Sunday offers Buffalo an opportunity to begin turning its new building into exactly what the old Highmark Stadium became for visiting teams:
A place nobody wants to play.
WHAT TO WATCH
Everything starts with Allen.
When Buffalo’s quarterback is simultaneously threatening defenses through the air and on the ground, the Bills become extraordinarily difficult to contain.
But Cook may be equally important.
If Buffalo can consistently establish its rushing attack, Los Angeles will be forced into difficult decisions.
Commit additional defenders toward the line of scrimmage and Allen can attack downfield.
Play deeper coverage and Cook can punish lighter defensive boxes.
That balance was one of the most impressive elements of Buffalo’s victory over Detroit.
Now the Bills will try to reproduce it.
HOW TO LISTEN
Fans unable to watch can follow the game through the Bills Radio Network.
Chris Brown will handle play-by-play duties, Eric Wood will provide analysis and Steve Tasker will report from the sideline.
Buffalo’s flagship broadcast is available on WGRF 96.9 FM, with additional affiliates throughout the Bills Radio Network.
ONE MORE CHANCE TO MAKE A STATEMENT
Buffalo has started 2–0.
Allen is playing explosive football.
The offense is producing points.
And excitement around the new Highmark Stadium is already building.
But September victories are only the beginning.
The Bills want something much bigger.
Sunday against Los Angeles represents another opportunity to take a step toward it.
