The Buffalo Bills are off and running in their final game at Highmark Stadium. Josh Allen took the first snap of the game to extend his starting streak before Mitch Trubisky came in and led the offense down the field for a touchdown to put Buffalo on top of the New York Jets 7-0. In the process, one of the longest-tenured Bills made himself a lot of money.

Tight end Dawson Knox entered the game needing seven receiving yards and one touchdown to hit on a pair of $100,000 incentives. The long-time pass-catcher hit on both of those incentives in one play, catching a 17-yard touchdown to cap off the opening drive of the game. Knox still has the chance to make another $100,00 if he finishes the game with six catches.

The Bills will be either the No. 6 or No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff picture. The Houston Texans locked up the No. 5 seed with a win over the Indianapolis Colts, meaning they will face the winner of the final game of the season between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. Should the Bills win, they will likely be heading to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars.
