LARAMIE — The bye week may have been exactly what Buffalo and former Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen needed. Returning to action, Allen helped lead the Bills to a dominant 40-9 victory over Carolina in Charlotte. While his stat line was modest, the outcome spoke volumes: Allen completed 12-of-19 passes for 163 yards with one touchdown and added two rushing scores on a season-low three carries for seven yards. Through eight games, Allen sits at 1,560 passing yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions, plus 261 rushing yards and five scores on the ground for 5-2 Buffalo. The Bills host Kansas City in Week 9.
