Allen’s late TD propels Bills to fourth consecutive regular-season victory over Chiefs
‘In the game’s deciding moments, quarterback Josh Allen took over. The Bills offense converted two first downs to start their final offensive series. On a third-and-9 near midfield, Allen fired a bullet over the middle to Shakir to the Chiefs 34-yard line for a first down to keep the clock ticking. Facing a third-and-2 from the Chiefs 26-yard line, Johnson was stuffed to force a fourth down. On fourth-and-2, Allen called his number, breaking free for a 26-yard touchdown to put the Bills ahead two possessions, 30-21, and ultimately seal the game in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.’
