Division closer on the road. Recap after the final
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
From the public recaps through Detroit.
First ever
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).

New house
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
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.
Game preview01
Can Allen stay clean — nine touchdowns, zero turnovers — against a Chargers defense that allowed 26 in Week 1?
02
Cook and the keepers in the first real 1 p.m. home window.
03
Buffalo has allowed 31 points twice; the stops still won both games — that’s the soft spot Los Angeles will poke.
