Top 5 Josh Allen Era Bills games:

 

My top 5 are-

 

5. 2018 Week 3 @ Vikings - Bills won 27-6 - The game that made Allen famous

4. 2020 Week 8 vs Seahawks - Bills won 44-34 - Allen threw for 415 yards in the game where his grandmother had died

3. 2021 Week 3 vs Commanders - Bills won 43-21- Allen for 358 yards and 4 TD passes; defense forced 4 turnovers

2. 2022 Wild Card vs Patriots - Bills won 47-17 - Allen for 308 yards and 5 TD passes (The Perfect Game) and just beating Belichick in the playoffs

1. 2023 Week 3 @ Commanders - Bills won 37-3 - Defense was on fire - 4 interceptions on Howell, sacked him 9 times and forced a fumble

 

 

Honorable Mentions:

1. 2020 Week 11 @ 49ers- Bills won 34-24 - Allen for 375 yards

2. 2021 Divisional Round @ Chiefs - Chiefs won 42-36 - yes I know it was heartbreaking but an overall great game along with BIG GAME GABE

3. 2021 Week 16 @ Patriots - Bills won 33-21- Allen was in full command and Mac Jones just played bad

2019 Thanksgiving vs Dallas…Josh fumbles, recovers, and converts a 4th down…and in that moment, the world is properly introduced to JA17.

Great list, can’t forget Thanksgiving in Dallas!

you are 100% right, i totally forgot about that game

[iccrewman112]

Good list I might add the Covid year game against the rams. 
 

they built a huge lead then blew the lead and the won it with a touchdown pass from Allen in the last minute.

[strive_for_five_guy]

Week 3 is apparently our lucky number.  This year against Jax was pretty solid too.

I’d add the Jaguars game in 2018 after Ramsey said he was trash and then on the 1st play Josh had that 75 yard TD bomb.

 

That was the start of me having some confidence the team found its QB for the future

IMO....

 

1. 13 seconds. A loss that shouldn't diminish the greatness, grit and leadership he displayed that day. 

 

2. NE Perfect Game. It's why we call it that. 7 drives, 7 TDS! Nuff said....

 

3. 2022 Pittsburgh 38-3 (JA goes for 424 and 4 TDs in 3 quarters before he sits)

 

4. Dallas Thanksgiving Game. JA on Primetime National TV in JerryWorld goes a solid 19/24 for 231 and 2 TDs (1 rushing) with Beasley, Brown, Foster and Mckenzie as his WRs. Some memorable plays while announcing to the world, Hey! I'm pretty good at football. 

 

5.  2020 Niners 34-24 Primetime game (JA goes for 375 and 4 TDs)

Surprised that there’s no games against Miami on that list.

This game.  It was a monumental moment for me.  I was watching w about 20 people mostly non bills fans. and the Bills had finally arrived.  Everyone was cheering for the Bills. 

[GunnerBill]

The San Fran game is my #1. Against a top defense Josh was in total control. 

[ganesh]

our first win on Thanksgiving against Dallas after almost a quarter century. 

Our beating of KC in the regular season in KC

The game against the Broncos at Mile High...He was toying with the Broncos defense

and all the 12+ SQUISH THE FISH game...Every game was sweet

Exactly my list but I would replace 4 with this past Jax game.  If he had two halves of football, it might have been his greatest game.

[dorquemada]

2018 vs the vikings primarily because of that guy here who bet 5k on the vikings.  even if i wasn't a bills fan that would make a top 5 list

 

would somebody here please bet $5k on the jets

[US Egg]

No Jets games.....great.

Most games against the Fins should be on the list. Josh is their daddy. 

[Ray Stonada]

It’s sad there are many more legendary Josh games from 2019-2021 than 2022-2024

That was the game where the SF defenders said they knew everything that was coming but had no idea how to stop it.

Nice list, however, i have the "perfect game" at number 1
