The Josh Allen rollercoaster is up and running again for the new NFL season

Josh Allen kicked off the 2026 NFL campaign by securing his maiden career road victory against Houston, guiding Buffalo to a thrilling 36-31 triumph over the Texans. The superstar signal-caller put on a clinic under the debut scheme of new head coach Joe Brady, generating 357 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns.

J. Stroud and a recovery by Terrel Bernard sealed the contest at the Buffalo nine-yard line.

Elsewhere across opening weekend action, Lamar Jackson fueled Baltimore to a dominant road rout over Indianapolis. Meanwhile, Chicago outdueled Carolina 59-37 behind Caleb Williams' four combined passing and rushing scores, establishing an all-time record for the highest-scoring opening weekend matchup and ranking twelfth in total points in league history.
