Well, you’ve never seen that before.

Josh Allen scored one of the most remarkable touchdowns of this – or any – season on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback was credited with a touchdown pass and a touchdown reception on the same play. But somehow he got away with no reception in the penalty area.

This is how it went down.

The Bills had a first-and-goal in the third quarter and led 21-3. Allen took a snap from down center and made a quick pass into the left plane to Amari Cooper, who juggled the ball before gaining control.

As Cooper blocked the pass, two 49ers defenders were with him and he looked toward the opposite end zone and looked directly at Allen, who had continued to run left.

So Cooper gave the ball right back to Allen. He passed the ball sideways backwards to Allen, who caught it and then ran around the left edge. Then he dove past three 49ers defenders with the ball outstretched in his right hand.

Allen hit the ball off the pylon for a Bills touchdown, extending Buffalo’s lead to 28-3. And Highmark Stadium was raging. Not even in their wildest dreams of a snow game could Bills fans have imagined this.

And again, Allen was also credited with a receiving touchdown in addition to the passing touchdown. But he was not credited with a catch. The catch belongs to Cooper for a 2-yard loss. Here’s what it looks like in NFL.com’s play-by-play:

Allen also rushed for a touchdown on Buffalo’s next drive. According to NBC, he is now the first quarterback in NFL history to record a rushing, passing and receiving touchdown in the same game.

Allen finished the 35-10 win completing 13 of 17 passes for 148 yards, two passing touchdowns and no turnovers. He ran three times for 18 yards and another touchdown. And he caught zero passes for 7 yards and a touchdown. This is also a direct evaluation.

Treat yourself to a night, Josh Allen. And have fun, Bills fans. And good luck to fantasy managers trying to solve this problem.
