ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Former Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid capped off the Buffalo Bills’ first drive of the season with a touchdown catch on Sunday Night Football.
Quarterback Josh Allen led the team on an efficient 7-play, 50-yard drive prior to Kincaid’s score.

Heading into year three, Kincaid has four touchdown catches with two in each year of his career. Prior to 2025, the earliest in the season he has had a touchdown was week three.
Last year, Kincaid dealt with a slew of injuries, which caused him to miss games and limited his production when he was on the field.
Buffalo coaches highlighted his improvements both on and off the field this offseason, and many see him as a breakout candidate as the Bills look to get over the hump in the postseason.
