On November 13th, 2022, the Buffalo Bills hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a thrilling matchup. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with the Buccaneers holding leads of 26-21 and 32-31 in the second half. However, Bills quarterback Josh Allen proved to be the difference-maker.
Allen accounted for six touchdowns on the day, throwing for three scores and rushing for three more. His late 5-yard touchdown run gave the Bills a lead they would not relinquish. Allen's performance tied Cam Newton's regular-season record of 75 games with at least one passing and one rushing touchdown.
Despite the Buccaneers' strong rushing attack, led by Sean Tucker's 106 yards and two touchdowns, their passing game struggled. Quarterback Baker Mayfield finished the day 16-of-28 for 173 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
The Bills' victory improved their record to 7-3 on the season, while the Buccaneers fell to 5-5. Buffalo will look to build on this win as they travel to face the Houston Texans on a short week, while Tampa Bay will head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.
