Joe Brady leads Buffalo Bills to franchise's first 2-0 start
Summary

On September 17, 2026, Joe Brady made history as the first head coach of the Buffalo Bills to win his first two games, following a 41-31 victory over the Detroit Lions. This milestone came during Buffalo's home opener at the new Highmark Stadium. Previous head coaches had struggled, with only three winning their opening games but losing the following week. Brady's successful start marks a significant moment for the franchise, which has seen 19 different head coaches since its inception in 1960. As the season progresses, questions remain about how Brady will continue to lead this team.
