The Buffalo Bills put on a clinic Sunday afternoon, trouncing the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-3 at Highmark Stadium.

It only took until the third play of the game for the Bills to take charge as —after a bobbled kickoff return by Taiwan Jones put Buffalo at its own 2-yard line — Josh Allen found Gabe Davis for a 98-yard touchdown, tied for the longest TD in Bills history.

The fireworks continued from there as Allen threw for 3 more TDs in the first half: another TD to Davis who fought to win a 50/50 ball, one to Stefon Diggs and one to Khalil Shakir at the end of the half.

The Bills defense came ready to play against rookie QB Kenny Pickett as they kept the Steelers out of the end zone, forced two turnovers and had 3 total sacks.

Buffalo improves to 4-1 this season and move into first place in the AFC East after the Dolphins also lost on Sunday.

Here's everything else you need to know from Buffalo's blowout win over the Steelers.

Josh Allen's 424 passing yards mark the most a Bill has ever passed for in regulation. Drew Bledsoe's team record 463 passing yards came in an overtime win at Minnesota (9/15/02).
The Bills are now the first NFL team to allow zero 3rd quarter points through 5 games since Minnesota in 2016.
Davis' 98-yard TD is the Bills' longest since Ryan Fitzpatrick connected with Terrel Owens on a 98-yard touchdown in 2009 at Jacksonville (11/22).
After his 98-yard TD pass, Josh Allen surpassed Peyton Manning (147) for the fourth-most total TDs in a player's first five NFL seasons.
