The pass traveled 40+ air yards and according to ESPN, it was the first passing TD of 40+ air yards for Allen since the 2022 regular season finale.’

‘The Bills have plenty of problems to address but they were tough enough to punch back after the Bucs kept throwing haymakers. They may not be the ’72 Dolphins or the ’85 Bears, but they remain in the hunt for a Super Bowl with more than a third of a season to play.’
Today in Bills stadium history: Nov. 17
‘2008 — Browns 29, Bills 27 — In a Monday night matchup between two teams fading out of the playoff picture, Trent Edwards continued his descent from strong early season, throwing the first of his three interceptions on Buffalo’s first play from scrimmage. Fred Jackson also fumbled for a fourth Bills turnover while the defense generated no takeaways. But it came down to the kickers in the end. Cleveland’s Phil Dawson made a 56-yarder for the led with 1:44 remaining, and Buffalo’s Rian Lindell missed wide right from 47 yards out in the last minute. Marshawn Lynch gained 177 yards from scrimmage with a receiving touchdown. Leodis McKelvin scored on a 98-yard kick return. Cleveland QB Brady Quinn passed for 185 yards in his first NFL victory as the Browns rushed for 165 yards and two TDs. A fourth consecutive loss dropped the Bills to 5-5.’

Thad Brown: Allen, Bills redeem Beane vision
‘Allen was dealing. He was in a rhythm like he hasn’t been much all season. He put up the third three rush, three throw, six touchdown game in NFL history (mind you, he also has one of the first two) and made it look nearly effortless. Allen did it, literally, with receivers off the street. Nine players had receptions. Three had touchdowns. Allen racked up his second best passing total of the year.
