Hi JLambright and welcome

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P1131 bank 1 (Cylinder 1) and P1151 bank 2 indicate the fuel/air ratio is correcting rich for an overly lean condition.
Bank 1 is the right side...passenger's side.
You might want to try swapping the 02's from side to side and see if the code follows.

Sounds like you replaced the wrong O2 sensor. The MAF doesn't cause this code so there is no apparent reason for its replacement based on the information you have provided.

The P1131 is typically the upstream sensor on the passenger side.

AutoZone's "Free" service strikes again. Ya get what ya pay for.
