Josh Allen delivered four touchdown passes in the opening half, propelling the Buffalo Bills to a commanding 47-10 victory over the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night. Allen completed 22 of 28 passes for 247 yards in the first 30 minutes, connecting with nine different receivers. He attempted just two passes in the second half, finishing with 23 completions out of 30 attempts for 263 yards before Mitchell Trubisky took over.

Allen's precision was evident as he connected with Dalton Kincaid, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Ty Johnson for touchdown passes. James Cook added to the scoring with a six-yard run. The Bills' defense was equally impressive, holding the Jaguars to a mere 70 yards, five first downs, and a single field goal in the first half.

The game's outcome was virtually sealed when Allen completed a 16-yard touchdown pass to Johnson with just 19 seconds left in the first half. Safety Damar Hamlin played a pivotal role, intercepting Trevor Lawrence's overthrown pass intended for rookie Brian Thomas Jr. This led to a 27-yard touchdown pass from Allen to Shakir, who broke two tackles en route to the end zone.

Hamlin's interception was a significant moment, coming over 21 months after his cardiac arrest during a game in Cincinnati. Reflecting on his journey, Hamlin expressed gratitude, attributing his comeback to divine intervention. The Bills, four-time defending AFC East champions, are off to a 3-0 start for the first time since 2020, having scored over 30 points in each game this season.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars are in disarray, last starting 0-3 in 2021 under coach Urban Meyer. Their current struggles follow a week of internal strife, with Lawrence admitting, 'We suck right now' after a loss to Cleveland. In contrast, the Washington Commanders showcased a remarkable performance, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 38-33. Rookie Jayden Daniels excelled, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another, setting an NFL rookie record for completion percentage in a single game.

The Commanders scored on every possession except for kneel-downs, maintaining a perfect record without punts or turnovers in their last two games. This marked the first time in Super Bowl era history that neither team punted or turned the ball over. Despite Joe Burrow's 324 yards and three scores, the Bengals are off to their worst start since 2019, when they lost their first 11 games.
