Josh Allen makes Bills playoff history after spectacular Ty Johnson TD

The Buffalo Bills made an important decision in the third quarter of their wild card game against the Denver Broncos. They had a chance to score a field goal and secure nine points on a four-and-1 in Denver territory.

Instead they did it. Instead of running the ball with Josh Allen, as they had done throughout the game, they decided to throw it.

At first it looked like Allen was going to be in trouble on the play. He scrambled to his right and seemed like he was going to run the ball after seeing that no receiver was open.

The Broncos defense was disciplined. It blocked Allen’s path to a run and when it collapsed on him, he had to make a downfield throw. He pointed down, told running back Ty Johnson to work the back line of the end zone and released the ball.

Somehow, Johnson managed to get his hands under the ball as he slid to catch it. Even more impressively, he managed to keep both feet and legs from touching the defensive line while securing the ball.

Below is a look at the spectacular catch:

Johnson only had two total touches of the ball in the game before his touchdown catch. He managed two runs for 12 yards, but got a few extra snaps after backup running back Ray Davis left the game after suffering a hit to the head early in the drive.

Johnson’s score gave the Bills decisive momentum. This, along with Keon Coleman’s two-point conversion catch, guaranteed that the Broncos would need to score two touchdowns to tie the Bills, who extended their lead to 14 points.

The play also marked the 22nd passing touchdown of Allen’s career. This broke the tie with Hall of Famer Jim Kelly for most playoff passing touchdowns in Bills history.
