Bills defeat Raiders 33-30 to improve to 5-1

Buffalo secured a 33-30 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, improving to 5-1 heading into a Week 7 bye. Josh Allen threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, including a 12-yard scoring pass to Keon Coleman in the third quarter. James Cook contributed 95 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown and 58 receiving yards, while Tyler Bass made all four field-goal attempts for 15 points.

The Raiders narrowed the gap to three points with 1:32 left in the fourth quarter when Kirk Cousins connected with Tre Tucker on a 44-yard touchdown pass, the longest pass play of the season for Las Vegas. A subsequent onside kick was recovered by Khalil Shakir, sealing the win for Buffalo.

Buffalo’s defense forced an early second-half interception by Dorian Williams and held the Raiders to 378 total yards, though they allowed a 91-yard drive that tied the game at 23 in the fourth quarter. Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected after spitting toward Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.

The Raiders, now 3-3, missed a chance to tie the game with a field goal after an onside kick attempt fell short. Their earlier scoring drive featured a 91-yard march capped by Cousins’ 11-yard touchdown pass to Tucker.

Both teams exchanged penalties throughout the contest, including pass-interference calls and on-field infractions that affected field position. The win marks Buffalo’s second consecutive three-point victory, following a 37-34 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams six days earlier.
