Josh Allen, James Cook Lift Bills Over Saints 31-19 to Reach 4-0

Costly penalties kept New Orleans close until Josh Allen's late surge.

Overview

  • Josh Allen went 16-of-22 for 209 yards with two touchdown passes and a rushing score, tying Cam Newton's NFL record with his 45th game featuring both.
  • On third-and-5 late in the fourth quarter, Allen scrambled 27 yards and then hit Dalton Kincaid for a 28-yard touchdown with 7:07 remaining to make it 28-19.
  • James Cook ran for 117 yards and a touchdown, extending his franchise record to eight consecutive games with a rushing TD.
  • Buffalo's defense sealed it with Cole Bishop's goal-line interception on a trick play and Tre'Davious White's fourth-down stop before Matt Prater added a late field goal.
  • The Saints dropped to 0-4 after failing to convert repeated drives starting in Bills territory and multiple red-zone chances; next up are the Patriots at Buffalo on Sunday night and the Giants in New Orleans.
