Overview
- Allen went 28 of 35 for 273 yards with one passing touchdown, added two rushing scores, and capped the win with a 1-yard run after a 36-yard strike to Brandin Cooks and a 10-yard sneak.
- The fourth quarter featured four lead changes, and Jacksonville’s final possession ended when Tre'Davious White tipped a pass that safety Cole Bishop intercepted.
- Pregame reporting said Allen was managing an old foot bone issue with no added reinjury risk, and he later underwent in-game evaluations before returning to finish the contest.
- Jacksonville’s top-ranked run defense held James Cook to 46 yards on 15 carries, pushing Buffalo to rely on Allen’s arm and late situational execution.
- Buffalo advances as the No. 6 seed and will learn its divisional-round opponent after the remaining wild-card games, with another road trip ahead.
