ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – The Buffalo Bills’
offense was unstoppable Monday night
against the Jacksonville Jaguars, winning
47-10, holding the Bills to a complete game
of the season and handing them
their third loss to the Jaguars.
Quarterback Josh Allen led the Bills
on all five possessions in the first half, giving
them the lead at home. The win ended
a two-game winning streak against the Jaguars.
It’s the fifth time the Bills have scored 30
points in each of the first three games of the season.
Here’s the most important thing both teams should know from Monday night: The word “perfection” is difficult to use and rarely achieved in reality.
But there’s also an argument that the Bills’ offense and Josh Allen (247 passing yards, 4 first-half touchdowns) came close in the first half against the Jaguars.
Allen completed 23 of 30 passes for 263 yards and four touchdowns in the game. He ran for 44 yards on six carries. According to ESPN BET, he passed Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the best MVP odds and set his career record in the first 30 minutes of the game. On the first drive of the third quarter, he was 6 of 6 for 77 yards and two passing touchdowns on third down.
His stats are impressive, including his performance under pressure, leading the NFL with four rushing touchdowns this season.
Worrying trend
The Jaguars have already dealt with injuries to cornerback Tyson Campbell (hamstring injury) and nickelback Darnell Savage (quad), but now safety Jarion Jones (shoulder) — who replaces Savage in the lineup — and Oluokun (foot). . ) were injured. Defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen likes to cover a lot.
But those injuries significantly affect the Jaguars’ ability, especially given the short week and C.J. Strutt, Tank Dell, Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs should go to Houston.
Amazing stat: The Jaguars finally signed wide receiver Christian Kirk. After scoring seven times and catching just two passes for 29 yards in the first two games,
Kirk was targeted seven times and caught six passes for 73 yards in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter. Some of that depends on the outcome and the Jaguars should try to stay in the game, but Kirk should play a big role on offense.
