U.S. Bank Stadium · Mon, Nov 9 · 8:15 p.m. ET

Monday night in Minneapolis. Recap after the final

Hot so far

Allen’s open is historic. The defense has allowed 31 twice — and still found stops. Chargers at Highmark next: three things to watch. Allen, Cook, Kincaid, and the stops that decided Houston and Detroit — tap a name for more.

17

Allen

Nine touchdowns and zero turnovers through two (five passing, four rushing). First player ever to open a season that way.

86

Kincaid

Seven catches, 95 yards, one touchdown against Detroit; 35-yard grab on Houston’s winning drive.

4

Cook

21 carries, 135 yards, one touchdown in the Highmark opener.

50

Rousseau

Late red-zone strip that ended the Texans night.

11

Palmer

34-yard go-ahead touchdown with 1:36 left in Houston.

Walker

Red-zone sack in Houston; bat-downs that forced a Lions three-and-out.

Historic / notable

A start the league has not seen

From the public recaps through Detroit.

First ever

5+ pass + 3+ rush through two

First player to open a season with 5+ passing TDs and 3+ rushing TDs (Bills.com / CBS). Third to open 9+ total TDs and 0 turnovers — Peyton Manning 2013, Patrick Mahomes 2018 (Yardbarker / CBS).

Yardbarker / CBS Sports / Bills.com

New house

First Highmark opener: 5-TD night

Allen’s 3 pass + 2 rush in the first regular-season game at Highmark. Fourth career game with 3+ passing TDs and 2+ rushing TDs — only Kordell Stewart has multiple such games besides him.

What’s next

Three things to watch vs the Chargers

Highmark · Sep 27 · 1:00 p.m. ET · FOX. Los Angeles opened 0–1 (14–26 vs Arizona). Refresh their Week 2 vs Las Vegas before kickoff. A win is 3–0 into New England week; a loss makes the East a 2–1 mess.

Cook + keepers

03

The soft spot

Buffalo has allowed 31 points twice; the stops still won both games — that’s the soft spot Los Angeles will poke.
