ORCHARD PARK, NY – The Buffalo Bills kept their lead over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday at a 35-yard pass in the fourth quarter in their AFC wild card game.
It was Allen’s third 30-yard touchdown run on Saturday. This is the first time Allen has completed three 30-yard passes in a single game.

Bills took an early lead on a throw from Allen by Dawson Knox.
In the second and third rows of Colts’ 3-yard line, Allen took over what looked like a projected race, but was quickly greeted by Indianapolis defenders Tyquan Lewis and Anthony Walker. Allen rushed to the right and stood upright long enough to see Knox wide open in the final area. As he was brought to the ground, Allen lifted the ball to Knox, who caught it without anyone around him.

Allen was electrically behind the wheel, battling 12 yards for a first down before hitting Diggs for a 36-yard gain on the next piece. Diggs was hit almost immediately after the catch, but hung up to set Bills at the Colts’ 37-yard line. Allen completed 5 of 7 passes on 67 yards and scored.
