The Buffalo Bills improved to 4-0 in a season for the first time since 2008 after Josh Allen led his team to 30-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Allen scored three of the Bills touchdowns and completed over 70 percent of his passes for the fourth time in as many games.
The Raiders were able to move the ball consistently throughout the game but the Bills defense was able to get stops in the second half.
