Bills 44, Bucs 32 — and Orchard Park turned into the Allen Dome. Josh Allen went full joystick, shredding Tampa with 19/30 for 317 yards and 3 TDs, then bulldozing in three more on the ground for a six-piece touchdown combo. Vegas hung a 45.5 total; these two blew past it like it owed them money.

The vibe swung all day. Tampa struck first and kept swinging — Baker Mayfield muscled in a first-half score, and Sean Tucker detonated a 43-yard house call. Buffalo answered with fireworks: a 43-yard strike to Tyrell Shavers (4 for 90, 1 TD) and a late-half lightning bolt to Ty Johnson (52-yard TD) to make it 21-20 at the break. That’s backyard ball with NFL speed.

Out of halftime, the Bucs grabbed momentum — short field, Tucker cashed again, then later snagged a 28-yard screen to briefly put Tampa back up 32-31. But Allen slammed the door, dealing a 25-yard TD to James Cook (3 for 66, 1 TD receiving) and then playing bouncer at the goal line twice more. Special teams juice from Ray Davis’ long returns kept Buffalo on the front foot, and the defense iced it late when DaQuan Jones strip-sacked Mayfield and Dorian Williams fell on the rock. Tampa was already down Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and rookie RB Bucky Irving was ruled out Friday — so the Bucs leaned heavy on Tucker’s burst. (espn.com)
