LARAMIE — The 2025-26 NFL season opened with fireworks, and once again, a former Wyoming Cowboy was at the center of it. Josh Allen delivered a stunning comeback performance in Buffalo’s 41-40 victory over Baltimore on Sunday night, reminding fans why he’s the reigning league MVP.
Allen engineered a furious rally, erasing a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter while making NFL history. He became the first quarterback to throw for more than 250 yards and account for two touchdowns in a single quarter. His final stat line was 33-for-46 for 394 yards with two passing touchdowns, along with 30 rushing yards and two more scores on the ground. The Bills head to New York for a divisional matchup with the Jets in Week 2.
Here’s how the rest of the former Wyoming standouts fared in Week 1:
