Buffalo, N.Y. (WGR 550) - It was a return to pure dominance for the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday in their matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Highmark Stadium.
Josh Allen set a new franchise record with 424 passing yards in a regulation game, while also tossing four touchdown passes to Gabriel Davis (2), Stefon Diggs and rookie wideout Khalil Shakir.
