Josh Allen's Late-Game Heroics Push Bills Past Texans

Sunday, September 13, 12:45 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen finished Week 1 with 334 passing yards and two touchdowns, including a deep pass with under two minutes to play that lifted his team to a 36-31 victory against the host Houston Texans. The home team took a 31-30 lead with 6:44 left to play on a 58-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn. Buffalo responded with Josh Palmer catching Allen's 34-yard pass with 1:36 left in the game. Allen, who turned 30 in the offseason, also hit DJ Moore for a 43-yard touchdown in the first half, and added two rushing touchdowns to his tally for the day. The four-time Pro Bowl selection looks to build on a 2025 campaign in which he completed a career-high 69.3% of his passes for 3,668 yards and a 25:10 TD:INT ratio. Allen remains a must-start as Buffalo starts the season in the win column.

Drake Maye Throws Three Costly Interceptions in Seattle

Wednesday, September 9, 8:19 PM

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 178 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and three interceptions. He also rushed for 57 yards and took three sacks. Maye did show occasional flashes, but for the most part, he demonstrated poor decision-making and cost the Patriots the game. On the final drive of the game, Maye committed an intentional grounding play, and then one play later, he took a sack when he could have thrown the ball away. He made up for these bad plays by using his arm and legs to get the Patriots into the red zone, but then everything backfired as Maye threw an ill-advised pass that was picked off with 26 seconds left. The interception sealed the loss for New England, who had been in range to tie the game with a field goal. The only good news for Maye is that he got one of his toughest matchups out of the way. Things should get a little easier next week as Maye and the Patriots host the Steelers on 11 days' rest.
