Josh Allen threw for career highs of 417 yards and four touchdowns in the Bills' 31-28 decision over the Dolphins. Buffalo racked up 524 total yards, with Allen becoming the team's first quarterback to have back-to-back 300-yard games since Drew Bledsoe in 2002.
In other NFL action:
The San Francisco 49ers picked up their first win of the season, but it came at a very heavy price. Raheem Mostert ran for an 80-yard touchdown on San Francisco's first play from scrimmage in a 31-13 victory over the Jets. But Mostert couldn't finish the game, nor could quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas. Garoppolo went out with a high ankle sprain and Mostert to an injured knee. Garoppolo threw two TD passes before he and Mostert sat out the second half. The fear is it could be a season-ending ACL injury for Bosa, who'll have tests Monday. So will Thomas, although 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said there's a better chance for him it's not as serious an ACL injury.
Mitchell Trubisky threw two touchdown passes and the Bears hung on to beat the Giants 17-13. The Giants lost star running back Saquon Barkley to a possible season-ending right knee injury on the opening play of the second quarter.
Cam Newton was stopped at the 1-yard line by L.J. Collier on the final play to secure the Seahawks' 35-50 triumph over the Patriots.

Jeffery Simmons batted a pass by Gardner Minshew, and Harold Landry III grabbed the ball out of the air with 47 seconds left to seal the victory.
Aaron Jones rushed for a career-high 168 yards and scored three touchdowns, including a 75-yard breakaway, as the Packers rallied from an early 11-point deficit to beat the Detroit Lions 42-21.
