Josh Allen and Co. have scored 30+ points in each of their three games this season, and they are on track to keep the streak alive against the Saints as well. The defense has been a concern, but the offense has always managed to score enough to give the team a 3-0 start to the season.

Allen finished the first quarter with five completions of five passes for 103 yards and one touchdown. Shakir's only reception accounted for 43 yards. James Cook has been the best rusher for Buffalo, charting 8 carries for 41 yards and one touchdown.

Can Josh Allen march the Bills to a 4-0 record?

The Bills took the lead in the fifth minute of the game courtesy of a wonderful play from Josh Allen and Khalil Shakir. However, the defense allowed a touchdown just four minutes later. The Saints' Kendre Miller rushed for an 18-yard touchdown to equalize.

Bills' James Cook sneaked in for a one-yard touchdown to restore the team's lead with less than three minutes remaining in the first quarter. It might be the same story for the rest of the game as well. The Saints are coming off a 0-3 record and might not be able to get a win at Highmark Stadium either. However, if the Bills' defense continues to let them down, New Orleans might pull off a miracle.
