Before the season began, Josh Allen was voted as the NFL’s most overrated quarterback, but he silenced the haters on Monday Night Football, throwing four first-half touchdowns and leading the Buffalo Bills (3-0) to a dominant 47-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) at Highmark Stadium.
Allen completed 22 of his 28 passes in the first half for 247 yards and four TDs as the Bills scored on each of their first five drives and led 34-3 at halftime. Allen, who sat most of the fourth quarter, finished with 263 yards through the air and had 44 rushing yards on six attempts.
Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, and Ty Johnson hauled in TDs. James Cook and Ray Davis added rushing TDs. Ten different players caught a pass, marking the 10th time in team history that the Bills have reached that mark.
Damar Hamlin tallied his first career interception, picking off Trevor Lawrence and returning it for 19 yards. Von Miller, AJ Epenesa, Ja’Marcus Ingram, Casey Toohill, and Javon Solomon each recorded a sack, while Dorian Williams led the team in tackles with 11.
Buffalo is one of five teams to start the season 3-0, joining the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesota Vikings, and Seattle Seahawks.
