ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen had three of his four touchdowns in the second half and the Buffalo Bills overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Arizona Cardinals 34-28 in each team's season openers. Greg Rousseau had a career-best three sacks, including one that forced a fumble. The Bills defense preserved the win with Damar Hamlin and Ja'Marcus Ingram breaking up Kyler Murray's pass attempt to Greg Dortch near the goal line on fourth-and-7 from Buffalo's 29 with 26 seconds remaining. The outing featured the first kickoff return for a touchdown under the NFL's new rules with Arizona's DeeJay Dallas running one back for 96 yards to cut Buffalo's lead to 31-28.
