Players to Watch
Josh Allen
Coming off an electric performance in Week 1, racking up four total touchdowns in Buffalo’s 36-31 win, Josh Allen remains one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Whether he is launching deep balls downfield or using his size to push past defenders on the ground, Allen operates as the central engine of the Bills’ attack. Breaking in the new stadium, on primetime and against a team that made Tyler Shough look like a Hall of Famer, Allen should be primed for a great statline.
Jared Goff
Jared Goff continues to do just enough to keep the Lions offense elite. He leads a Detroit offense that can strike through the air or on the ground. Coming off a hard-fought Week 1 win, Goff’s ability to handle home-crowd noise, make quick pre-snap reads, and distribute the ball effectively to his key targets will be essential if the Lions hope to keep pace with Buffalo on the road.
