Buffalo started off its 2024 campaign with a 34-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals at home. Quarterback Josh Allen got off to a hot start by completing 18 for 23 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns in addition to nine carries for 39 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. His 137.7 passer rating was a career-high in a season opener. The Bills rallied from a 17-3 second-quarter deficit to get the win as Buffalo’s defense held Arizona to 270 total yards.

Miami had a second-half comeback as well in Week 1. The Jaguars held a 17-7 halftime lead before Miami scored 13 unanswered points in the second half to pull away for the 20-17 win. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a league-high 338 passing yards, the majority to wide receivers Tyreek Hill (130 yards) and Jaylen Waddle (109). Arguably the biggest story line of of the game happened before kickoff, though, as Hill was detained by police for speeding.
