01

Allen’s dual-threat continuity

9/0 through two. Does the 5-pass / 4-rush split stay clean vs. a Chargers club that opened 14–26 against Arizona?

Leonhard’s D vs. the pass game

31 allowed twice. Walker’s bats bought Thursday. The 3-4 is forming — a FOX window is another test.

The stake

3–0 or a 2–1 East

A win is 3–0 alone. A loss makes the East a 2–1 conversation before New England in Week 4. Jets 1–0 still host GB Sep 20.

Preview

Why this week matters

Buffalo is 2–0 and alone atop the AFC East after Houston and the Highmark opener against Detroit. Allen has 9 total touchdowns and zero turnovers through two — that’s the early-season story. The defense has allowed 31 twice; the stops still decided both nights, and every visitor will poke that soft spot.

The East picture is still wet ink. The Jets are 1–0 and host Green Bay on Sep 20 — that game finishes before Buffalo kicks against the Chargers. Don’t treat “half-game back with a game in hand” as settled until that box closes. Patriots and Dolphins are both 0–1.

Week 3 is the first 1 p.m. home Sunday of the year: Chargers at Highmark, FOX. Los Angeles opened 0–1 (lost to Arizona). Their Week 2 vs the Raiders also lands Sep 20 — refresh LAC’s record when that one posts. The stake is simple: walk into New England week at 3–0 alone, or drop into a messy 2–1 East.

  • BUF 2–0 · Allen 9 TD / 0 TO
  • Jets 1–0 host GB Sep 20 (East redraw before LAC)
  • Chargers: opened 0–1 vs ARI · confirm Week 2 vs LV before kick
  • Highmark · Sun Sep 27 · 1:00 p.m. ET · FOX

Three to watch

  1. 01

    Houston on the road, Detroit at home. Allen’s 9/0 start and Brady’s headset walk into a 3–0 East lead — or a 2–1 conversation.

  2. 02

    Chargers after Arizona

    LAC opened 14–26. Confirm their Week 2 result on the official card — listed Sep 20 vs. Las Vegas.

  3. 03

    3–0 or a 2–1 East

    Walk into New England week at 3–0 alone, or drop into a messy 2–1 East. Jets 1–0, half-game back on paper — they still host GB Sep 20 before Buffalo kicks.
