Buffalo Bills Dominate Jacksonville Jaguars with 47-10 Victory on Monday Night Football
The Buffalo Bills dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football, asserting control from the opening drive and cruising to a commanding 47-10 victory. The final score doesn’t fully capture just how lopsided the game was, as Buffalo had effectively sealed the win by the third quarter, allowing their backups to finish the game.
Quarterback Josh Allen set the tone early, leading the Bills to touchdowns on all five of their first-half possessions. By halftime, Allen had completed 22-of-28 passes for 247 yards and four touchdowns. He finished the night 23-of-30 for 263 yards, with all four of his scoring passes coming in the first half. The Bills’ offense wasted no time getting on the board, scoring on their first possession with a seven-yard rushing touchdown by James Cook. Although the extra point was blocked, Buffalo still led 6-0.
The Bills defense forced a quick three-and-out, allowing Allen to orchestrate another scoring drive, this time capped by a six-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dalton Kincaid. Allen rolled out to his right and fired a dart, extending the lead to 13-0. After Jacksonville managed a field goal to make it 13-3, the Bills unleashed an offensive onslaught. Rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman caught his first career touchdown on a crossing route to push the score to 20-3.
A key highlight came when Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw an interception to Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin, marking Hamlin’s first career pick. The crowd erupted in support of Hamlin, who has endured a remarkable journey back to the field after facing serious health challenges over the past two years.
Following the interception, Allen connected with wide receiver Khalil Shakir for another touchdown, extending the Bills’ lead to 27-3. Head coach Sean McDermott stayed aggressive, and a big punt return by Brandon Codrington set up another Allen touchdown pass, this time to running back Ty Johnson, giving Buffalo a 34-3 halftime lead.
Jacksonville briefly showed signs of life in the second half, scoring on a pass from Lawrence to tight end Brandon Strange to make it 34-10. However, Buffalo quickly responded with a 27-yard field goal by Tyler Bass, pushing the score to 37-10. After a key sack by Von Miller forced a turnover on downs, the Bills continued their dominance. Bass added a 43-yard field goal, making it 40-10, before rookie defensive end Javon Solomon forced a fumble that was recovered by Casey Toohill. This led to a final touchdown, with rookie running back Ray Davis punching it in from three yards out to seal the 47-10 win.
Buffalo’s rookies shined throughout the game, with Coleman and Davis both scoring their first NFL touchdowns. Solomon also recorded his first career sack, and linebacker Joe Andreessen contributed two tackles in the fourth quarter. The Bills defense harassed Jacksonville’s quarterbacks, recording five sacks, while Shakir led the team in receiving with six catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. Allen, in addition to his stellar passing performance, led the Bills in rushing with 44 yards on six carries.
The Bills’ dominant win improved their record to 3-0, showcasing an MVP-caliber performance from Josh Allen and a defense that shut down a talented Jaguars offense. With contributions from ten different receivers and strong play on both sides of the ball, Buffalo demonstrated why they are one of the most formidable teams in the AFC.
