Allen's Wild Play Costs Bills in Playoff Stumble
18 Jan
Summary
- Josh Allen's backward pass led to a costly Broncos field goal.
- Denver extended their lead to 23-17 in the third quarter.
- Allen committed two fumbles and threw two touchdown passes.
In a head-scratching moment during the divisional playoff round, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's decision-making led to a crucial scoring opportunity for the Denver Broncos. With time winding down in the first half and no timeouts, Allen attempted to throw the ball away, but an ill-advised backward pass was recovered by Denver.
This recovery at the end of the second quarter allowed the Broncos to convert a field goal, increasing their lead to 23-17 midway through the third quarter. The momentum shifted significantly due to this unusual turn of events, putting the Bills in a tougher position.
Despite the costly mistake, Allen has thrown for two touchdowns to receivers Mecole Hardman and Keon Coleman. However, his two turnovers, both fumbles, have put a significant strain on the Bills' playoff hopes as they face a strong challenge from Denver.
