Josh Allen's Heroics Send Bills Through as 49ers Oust Eagles With Fourth-Quarter Surge

Late-game execution defined Wild Card Weekend.

Overview

  • Buffalo earned its first road playoff victory since the 1992 AFC Championship with a last-minute win in Jacksonville.
  • Allen went 9 of 11 for 103 yards with a touchdown in the fourth quarter, added 21 rushing yards and a rushing score, and converted a pivotal fourth-and-1 QB sneak.
  • Trevor Lawrence threw two late interceptions and finished 18 of 30 for 207 yards with three touchdowns and two picks, capping a one-and-done for a 13-win Jaguars team under rookie coach Liam Coen.
  • San Francisco advanced with a 13-point fourth-quarter comeback against the defending-champion Eagles despite a mounting injury list that includes George Kittle's reported Achilles injury.
  • Kyle Shanahan dialed up a Jauan Jennings trick-play touchdown and defensive coordinator Robert Saleh stifled Philadelphia, while A. J. Brown's drops and a sideline confrontation with Nick Sirianni renewed offseason trade speculation.
