In their season opener, the Buffalo Bills overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Arizona Cardinals 34-28, led by quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for two touchdowns and rushed for two more. Allen's performance came in response to offseason criticism, including being labeled the 'most overrated quarterback' by an ESPN player survey. The game featured significant contributions from the Bills' defense, notably Greg Rousseau, who recorded three sacks, and crucial stops in the final moments to preserve the win. DeeJay Dallas scored a 96-yard kickoff return touchdown for the Cardinals, attempting to spark a comeback. Despite a slow start, Allen orchestrated four touchdown drives, showcasing his ability to lead the team under pressure. This victory highlights the ongoing reliance on Allen's talent, even as the Bills face roster challenges this season.
