Josh Allen shines as Bills top Lions in Thursday Night Football

Josh Allen accounted for five touchdowns, leading the Buffalo Bills to a 41-31 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. The Lions struggled early, falling behind 21 points before halftime due to seven penalties and a lack of defensive stops. Despite a strong passing performance from Jared Goff, who threw for four touchdowns, the Lions could not close the gap after pulling within 10 points twice in the second half. James Cook's rushing touchdown late in the game sealed the Bills' win. The Lions (1-1) will have a brief break before facing the New York Jets at home next week.
