Offensive head coach/play-caller making the decisions instead of defense-oriented head coach might be a factor. Via @WerderEdNFL on X

What happened: Buffalo has put up 24 and 27 first-half points over the last two weeks, turning early offense into a central theme of its 2-0 start. That discussion gained more traction after the Bills' 41-31 win over Detroit pushed another high-output performance onto the board.

Why it matters: Fast starts matter because they let Buffalo dictate terms early instead of spending the first half climbing back into games. With the Bills already 2-0, stacking early leads could have immediate value in the AFC race.

By the numbers: Buffalo has scored 24 first-half points in one of the last two games and 27 in the other. Josh Allen has 674 total yards, five passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns through two games.

What to watch: The next read comes against the Chargers, where another quick first half would keep the spotlight on how Buffalo is structuring decisions on offense.
