Josh Allen Leads Bills Past Jaguars With Late TD, Ending 33-Year Road Playoff Drought

Buffalo turns to quarterback health updates next, with the divisional opponent to be decided by other AFC results.

Overview

  • Buffalo beat Jacksonville 27-24 in the AFC wild-card round in Florida, a game that featured four fourth-quarter lead changes.
  • Allen went 28-of-35 for 273 yards with a touchdown to Dalton Kincaid and ran for two scores, including the winning 1-yard plunge after a 66-yard drive keyed by a 36-yard strike to Brandin Cooks.
  • The defense sealed it when Tre'Davious White deflected Trevor Lawrence’s first throw of the final drive and safety Cole Bishop intercepted it.
  • Allen was checked in-game for a head blow, jammed hand and knee issue, cleared concussion protocol, and was later seen limping, with the team aiming to get him as healthy as possible for next week.
  • The Bills advance to the divisional round and will play on the road again, with the opponent determined by the Patriots-Chargers result and the Steelers-Texans outcome.
