In the first game at Buffalo's newly opened Highmark Stadium, quarterback Josh Allen set an NFL record by accumulating four touchdowns (three passing and one rushing) in the Bills' 36-31 win over Detroit. Allen had previously achieved two passing and two rushing touchdowns in Week 1. The $2.2 billion stadium received mixed feedback before its opening due to concerns about obstructed views, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised it as a spectacular addition for Buffalo fans.

Story summary
The Buffalo Bills hosted the Detroit Lions in their first regular-season game at the newly built $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium on September 17, 2026, during an NFL Thursday Night Football match. To celebrate and honor their large Canadian fan base, the Barenaked Ladies performed "O Canada" before the game amidst escalating tensions between the U.S. and Canada due to a trade war. The Bills opened with a strong performance led by quarterback Josh Allen, who scored on a 1-yard touchdown run after an impressive 85-yard drive. Both anthems were sung acapella, followed by fireworks and light shows for added fan engagement.
