Josh Allen makes NFL history as the Bills win the AFC East with a win over the 49ers in driving snow

Josh Allen made every play a quarterback could make and more.

Fresh off his engagement to pop star Hailee Steinfeld, Allen had to deal with the driving lake-effect snow that hit the Buffalo area over the holiday weekend and into Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

Allen definitely had more spring in his step as the Bills defeated the 49ers 35-10. Buffalo also won the AFC East Division for the fifth consecutive year.

The superstar quarterback got on the scoresheet before halftime with a 7-yard pass to wide receiver Mack Hollins. Buffalo had a 21-3 lead heading into the locker room, but they were far from done.

Allen was credited with a receiving touchdown in the third quarter after Amari Cooper deflected Allen’s pass back into the quarter, who then ran in for a score. Allen officially had zero catches, but had seven receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.

To cap off the night, Allen ran for an 8-yard score in the fourth quarter, putting the game completely out of reach. From then on, Mitchell Trubisky took over.

Since the merger, Allen has become the NFL quarterback who can throw a touchdown, run for a touchdown and catch a touchdown in a single game, the team said.

He had 148 passing yards on 13 completions and 18 rushing yards.

Bills running backs James Cook and Ray Davis also made the board. Cook had a 65-yard touchdown run while Davis had a 5-yard touchdown run. Cook had 107 rushing yards and Davis had 59 on the night.

The 49ers had no answer to the Bills’ offense all night. Players seemed to have no feel for the snow conditions at all as they slipped and slid across the surface.

San Francisco’s best hope was to give Christian McCaffrey every possible opportunity. But the running back suffered a knee injury in the first half and never returned.

Brock Purdy passed for less than 100 yards. He was 11 of 18 with 94 passing yards. He was fired twice. Isaac Guerendo scored San Francisco’s only touchdown.
