The Buffalo Bills offense showcased its prowess in Week 2 by scoring six touchdowns, securing a 41-31 victory over the Detroit Lions during ‘Thursday Night Football.’ However, an injury to a crucial player has raised concerns as Week 3 approaches. Wide receiver DJ Moore sustained a shoulder injury while attempting a touchdown catch in the second quarter.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Moore was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to his injury. Throughout the contest, Moore did not record any receptions and attempted one rush resulting in a loss of one yard.
Moore’s performance in Week 1 was impressive, as he achieved five receptions for 100 yards and scored a touchdown in the Bills’ 36-21 victory over the Houston Texans. Buffalo had acquired Moore by trading a second-round pick to the Chicago Bears, along with a fifth-round pick during the offseason.
After defeating the Lions, Bills’ head coach Joe Brady praised Moore’s contribution, stating the justification of the trade: ‘Yeah, I mean, you see there’s a reason we brought him here and the ability that he can make plays down the field,’ Brady expressed. ‘And look, we had a PI that’s not even going to show up in the stat book, right? But that’s another added bonus, right? You saw the different types of weapons that we had, with DJ having a big game, Dalton (Kincaid) had a big game.’
Quarterback Josh Allen relied on Dalton Kincaid in Moore’s absence. Kincaid led the team with seven receptions, amassing 95 yards and a touchdown. Keon Coleman had a commendable performance, securing six receptions for 63 yards. Joshua Palmer caught a critical 43-yard scoring pass.
