Buffalo got off to a 14-0 start at tough Ford Field, with Allen leading back-to-back touchdown drives, scoring from 1 and 4 yards out, respectively.
But Jared Goff and the Lions are one of the best offensive lines in the league, and we knew they would respond in some way.
On the Lions' third drive, Goff scrambled out of the pocket to find Tim Patrick and used his entire wingspan to send the ball over the goal line to make it a 14-7 game.

But James Cook, who had two touchdowns and 105 yards rushing on 14 carries, found the end zone for the first time on the ensuing drive to maintain the lead.
Maintaining the lead no matter how many times the Lions score is what the Bills did all game long.

Goff completed 38 of 59 passes for 494 yards and five touchdowns, and his team scored six times.
His reliable target, Amon-Ra St. Brown, had 14 catches, including 193 yards and a score on a 66-yard catch-and-run, and Jahmil Gibbs had one on the ground and one through the air. Recorded.
With offensive coordinator Ben Johnson doing everything he could to get back into the game, Goff threw a touchdown to offensive lineman Dan Skipper from nine yards left.
But Allen and the Bills retaliated by scoring, with Ray Davis and Khalil Shakir accounting for Allen's passing touchdowns on the day.
Cook's backup, Ty Johnson, was also Buffalo's top receiver with five catches for 114 yards.
