[Source] - The force of Allen being driven into the ground sent a massive clump of Highmark Stadium’s fresh grass into the air — roots, dirt and all. The rut was so deep that four Bills went onto the field to repair it. Done playing for the day, quarterback Josh Allen, receiver DJ Moore and tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown turned to gardening. They retrieved the parcel and took turns stomping it back into place.

“The field is arse right now,” said one player who didn’t want to be identified. “But it’s early.”

“The grass looked good,” Bills linebacker Dorian Williams said. “It was cool. A couple spots kind of chunked up a little bit, but it’s better than playing on (artificial) turf.

“The kinks will keep getting worked out. You can see some of the grass kind of mound up and guys knocking it back down, but I’ve had no traction problems so far.”

“It was actually pretty good,” Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks said. “It was a little lumpy out there, but it wasn’t bad. The grass felt good.”
