MIAMI (AFP) — Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had fun in the snow as his team produced an offensive avalanche to blow away the San Francisco 49ers 35-10 in the National Football League on Sunday.
Allen achieved the unique feat of throwing, catching and rushing for a touchdown in the same game — according to NFL.com he became the first quarterback to score in all three ways in a league game.
The play of the game came in the third quarter when Allen threw a short pass to Amari Cooper, who threw it back to him and Allen caught the ball before rushing into the end zone to make it 28-3.
“I threw a bad ball. I was worried it was going to get tipped up in the air and picked, so I was just kind of chasing it,” Allen said.
“I made eye contact with Coop. He’s a vet. Saw me, I put my hands out, he tossed it to me, and I had to make a play,” he said, before noting the fantasy football points significance of him being credited a touchdown pass and catch on the same play.
Earlier, James Cook had scored an equally spectacular but more orthodox touchdown when he rushed 65 yards over the snow-covered field mid-way through the second to make it 14-3.
Allen followed up that score with a seven-yard pass to Mack Hollins, finished off the rout by rushing in himself for an 8-yard score as the impressive Bills moved to 10-2 and clinched the American Football Conference East division crown and a playoff berth.
Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson continued his renaissance, throwing for 414 yards and three touchdowns as the Steelers won 44-38 at the Cincinnati Bengals.
Wilson, a Super Bowl winner with Seattle in 2014, was released by Denver last year and signed on a one-year veteran minimum deal with the Steelers.
Wilson’s 25-yard touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth at the end of the third quarter was a reminder of his enduring quality, scrambling out of the pocket and finding his receiver with a fine pass on the run.
That score gave the Steelers a 34-24 lead heading into the fourth, and a 21-yard fumble recovery returned by Payton Wilson put them in firm control.
