Raiders vs. Bills score: Live updates, game stats, highlights as Josh Allen returns from injury before half

Another sterling effort from quarterback Josh Allen, and a timely forced turnover by a former All-Pro, helped the Bills remain undefeated after defeating the Raiders in Las Vegas, 30-23. Allen, who suffered an injury scare near the ned of the first half, threw a pair of first-half touchdowns as Buffalo took a 17-13 halftime lead. With the Bills ahead 23-16 in the fourth quarter, Josh Norman’s forced fumble of Raiders tight end Darren Waller set up Devin Singletary’s touchdown run. The score was also set up by Allen’s 49-yard bomb to Stefon Diggs, who caught six passes for 115 yards. 

The Raiders, 2-2 after winning their first two games, relied on three Daniel Carlson field goals that included a 54-yarder in the first quarter. Las Vegas finally hit pay dirt when David Carr found Jason Witten for a three-yard touchdown just before halftime. The score, Witten’s first as a Raider, was the 150th career touchdown pass for Carr, which tied him with Hall of Fame quarterback Ken Stabler for the franchise record. 

Buffalo’s defense came up with two turnovers and a turnover on downs on the Raiders’ next three possessions. The biggest play came when Norman stripped Waller, who led the Raiders with 88 yards on nine receptions. Las Vegas did make things somewhat interesting after Carr hit Nelson Agholor for a seven-yard score with 1:23 left. The Bills iced the game, however, after receiving the ensuing onside kick.
