NFL round-up: Bills thrash Jaguars and Commanders edge Bengals

Josh Allen threw four first-half touchdown passes as the Buffalo Bills thrashed the Jacksonville Jaguars 47-10 to maintain their perfect start to the season.

Allen set up scores for Dalton Kincaid, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Ty Johnson, while James Cook had a rushing touchdown as the Bills raced into a 34-3 lead after two quarters.

Brenton Strange collected Trevor Lawrence’s six-yard pass for a Jaguars touchdown in the third quarter, but Ray Davis rushed over late on to complete a thumping win for the Bills.

Jaguars quarterback Lawrence was sacked four times as Jacksonville suffered their third defeat from as many games this season.

Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a game in January last year, was mobbed by his team-mates when he recorded his first career interception.

In Monday’s other game, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels threw two touchdown passes and ran over for a score of his own as the Washington Commanders edged the Cincinnati Bengals 38-33.

Daniels, the second overall pick in the 2024 draft, completed 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards as the Commanders recorded their second win of the season.

Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow completed 29 of 38 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns, including two for Ja’Marr Chase.

Zack Moss scored on a one-yard run with 40 seconds left to narrow the gap to five points, but the Bengals ran out of time.

Defeat means Cincinnati have lost their opening three matches of a season for the first time since 2019.
