Josh Allen on an MVP mission as Bills destroy Lions in first game at new Highmark Stadium

Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a dominant victory over Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions in the very first game played at the new Highmark Stadium on Thursday Night Football. The Week 2 matchup followed Buffalo's Week 1 triumph on the road against the Houston Texans, keeping Allen undefeated in his career against Detroit.

The home crowd cheered wildly during the pregame introductions for the quarterback, who enters the season under a new head coach following another disappointing postseason exit.

Allen made history during the opening quarter by keeping the football on a first-and-goal snap from the 1-yard line to secure the venue's inaugural touchdown. That rushing score contributed to an extraordinary individual performance, matching a league milestone that had stood untouched since 1960.
