Overview
- The Bills beat the Detroit Lions 41-31 at the new Highmark Stadium on Thursday, with Josh Allen accounting for five touchdowns to push Buffalo to a 2-0 start under rookie coach Joe Brady.
- Defensive tackle Ed Oliver was scratched before the Bills’ game after hurting his hip in warmups and his availability for next week remains unclear.
- Bengals-Texans is set for Sunday at NRG Stadium with Joe Burrow listed questionable, DraftKings favoring Houston and NBC Sports’ model leaning the Texans moneyline and the total under 46.5.
- The Vikings ruled Kyler Murray out with a concussion and will start veteran Carson Wentz, while the Chicago Bears reported no players on their final Week 2 injury report.
- Analysts and sportsbooks are rapidly recalibrating lines and expectations after Week 1 results and fresh injuries, though coverage cautions that small early-sample swings can be misleading.
