In a commanding performance, the Buffalo Bills asserted their dominance by scoring 34 points in the first half and ultimately winning by 37 points, with a final score of 47 to 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Joshua Allen, the 28-year-old quarterback standing at 6 feet 5 inches, took to the field at Highmark Stadium in upstate New York on September 23 at 7:30 PM. Facing a chilly night and in front of 73,016 fans, Allen led his team to their third consecutive celebration in the NFL American Football Conference East Division regular season.
Concerns had been raised about the Jaguars’ defensive capabilities leading up to the game, questioning whether they could effectively counter the Bills’ offensive prowess.
Throughout the match, the Bills maintained possession for a total of 31 minutes and 40 seconds. Their consistent scoring kept them ahead at all times, with at least 3 points scored in each of the first three quarters, and a commanding 34 to 3 lead at halftime.
Leading their opponent by 31 points at halftime marked the third-largest halftime lead in Buffalo’s history. This feat echoes back to November 22, 1992, when the Bills faced the Atlanta Falcons at home, rallying to an impressive 38 to 7 at halftime and finishing the game 41 to 14.
The matchup between the Bills and Jaguars dates back to December 28, 1996. In their 20 encounters—both in regular season and playoffs—the teams have each won 10 games. Their most recent face-off occurred on October 8, 2023, where the Jaguars claimed a narrow 25 to 20 victory.
In this particular game, Allen orchestrated the offense without any interceptions, completing 23 of his 30 passes for a total of 263 yards, with a long completion of 28 yards, and achieving 4 touchdown passes without being sacked. He also collaborated with 24-year-old running back James Cook, executing 11 rushing attempts for 39 yards and one touchdown, while teaming up with another running back, Re’Mahn Davis, for 7 rushing attempts that totaled 22 yards and another touchdown.
