Josh Allen and Amari Cooper combine for an insane touchdown

Josh Allen does everything.

In a dominant performance by the rolling Bills on “Sunday Night Football” in the middle of a snowstorm, Allen added some shine and more comfort to the team’s leadership in a touchdown that statistics experts may have scratched their heads over.

With less than six minutes to play in the third quarter and a 21-3 lead, Allen lined up at the San Francisco 7-yard line on a first down and completed a short pass to Amari Cooper at Highmark Stadium.

As the 49ers’ defenders surrounded the receiver and tried to take him to the ground, Cooper threw the ball back to Allen, who seemed wise enough to follow his own pass, and the quarterback sprinted toward the end zone and dove for the goal-line pylon to another touchdown.

The play gave the 28-year-old Allen both a passing and receiving touchdown, although he was not credited with a reception. Allen threw another touchdown early in the game.

According to the broadcast, this is the fourth time in league history that something like this has happened to a quarterback.

If that happens this season, the Bills would be a good bet as they have been at the top of the AFC all season and are just one game behind the reigning two-time champion Chiefs.

Allen and Buffalo managed to beat Kanasas City in Week 11, handing the Chiefs their first loss of the season.

The 49ers (5-6), who have had an ups and downs injury-plagued season, suffered another setback in the second quarter when Christian McCaffrey was sidelined with a concerning knee injury and did not return to the game.

The Bills defeated San Francisco 35-10.

The touchdown is a unique addition to Allen’s already exciting week of getting engaged to singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld during the Bills’ bye week.

The couple was first linked in May 2023 when they were caught in a major PDA moment during a sushi date in New York City.
