Bills Quarterback Josh Allen Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week
Anonymous
The Buffalo Bills beat the Detroit Lions 41-31 in their first game at the new Highmark Stadium, with Josh Allen accounting for five touchdowns through the air and on the ground. Allen was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week, the 19th such honor of his career. Buffalo’s offense may face a receiver shortage against the Los Angeles Chargers: D.J. Moore is managing a shoulder injury, while Moore and Keon Coleman are both listed as questionable after limited or missed practices. The Bills are scheduled to host the Chargers on Sunday.
