The Buffalo Bills took the ball first in Thursday night’s season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, and Bills quarterback Josh Allen was as good as it gets on Buffalo’s opening drive. Allen completed all five of his attempts for 58 yards and a touchdown, despite the fact that Aaron Donald was living in the backfield, demolishing every Bills offensive lineman he faced.
On the 26-yard touchdown pass to playoff hero Gabe Davis with 9:56 left in the first quarter, Allen wisely booted out of the pocket, and the Bills used play-action and a pulling right guard to sell the Rams on the idea that they were running the ball.
