ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills offense capitalized on an Aaron Rodgers interception with an impressive 30-yard throw from quarterback Josh Allen to wide receiver Amari Cooper to extend the Bills’ lead to 19-0 in the third quarter on Sunday.
On second-and-13, Allen stepped back in the pocket before launching the ball into the end zone with Cooper leaping up to come down with the pass. He hit the ground hard but held on to the football. Cooper was slow to get up after the play and was later evaluated for a head injury and cleared.
