Kincaid had a pretty slow start to the season. Through the first two weeks, the sophomore tight end had just five receptions for 44 yards.
In the first quarter of the week three Monday Night Football contest, Kincaid had two catches for 34 yards and a TD.
Both of the Bills’ first two drives ended in six. To start the game, Buffalo went on a 10-play, 70-yard drive that ended in a James Cook touchdown.
After a quick three-and-out from Jacksonville, the Bills led another scoring drive that was capped off by Kincaid’s first score of the year.

The next drive saw a similar result.
Buffalo took seven plays to move down the field before Allen found rookie receiver Keon Coleman to make it three touchdowns on three drives.
The Bills led 20-3 as the first half began to wind down.
