Allen's 121.4 rating and 0.44 EPA/play led Bills' dominant offensive display vs. Lions.

Allen posted a 121.4 passer rating against Detroit's defense in Week 2, completing his performance in a dominant Bills offensive display that averaged 6.5 yards per play (above the 2025 NFL-best 6.2 average) and generated a 0.44 EPA/play (highest of any game in 2026) with a 59% success rate (second-best). The Lions applied pressure on 34.2% of Allen's dropbacks—above league average—but failed to contain him through missed assignments and blown coverages in the secondary.
