ORCHARD PARK, (N.Y.) — Big games are defined by big moments for the Buffalo Bills.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the superstar everyone expected in playoff mode. Allen had three passing touchdowns, but it was the 52-yard rushing touchdown that set him apart.
Allen’s second-quarter touchdown was the second-longest touchdown run by a quarterback in NFL history, the longest rush of his career, and the longest rush by a Bills player in a playoff game.
“I got 15-20 yards downfield and heard a lot of guys screaming slide. I didn’t slide, and I scored,” said Josh Allen.
The other big moment came from second-year wide receiver Khalil Shakir. Allen and Shakir connected for a 17-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The wideout continues to be a reliable option, and on Monday, he gave his team a nice two-touchdown cushion.
“Josh put it right on me, and the dude hit me, and I was able to stay up and make a play from there,” said Shakir.
You can watch Shakir and Allen speak after the game in the video player above.
