Josh Allen is now among the elite in Buffalo Bills history.
The historic moment came in the third quarter. After narrowly dodging a tackler, Allen found Keon Coleman on a 12-yard pass—his 258th career touchdown pass. The many Bills fans who had made the trip immediately chanted “MVP!” True to form, Allen later said he was simply doing what it took to help his team win.
He finished the game with 255 yards and two touchdown passes.
The Bills appeared to be in control after another spectacular play by Allen and Coleman, which put the score at 23-13. But the Raiders refused to give up. Kirk Cousins connected with Tre Tucker on an 11-yard pass to tie the game with just over eight minutes remaining. James Cook then put the visitors back in front with a 3-yard run into the end zone, following a 26-yard catch that took advantage of a misaligned defense. Tyler Bass added a 38-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining.
Cousins (313 yards, two touchdowns) cut the deficit to three points with a superb 44-yard pass to Tucker, but it was too little, too late. Tucker finished with 97 yards on five catches, while Michael Mayer set a personal best with 95 yards and Brock Bowers added 70.
A clean game for the Bills, despite an ejection
After nine turnovers in three weeks, Buffalo played its first game without fumbling the ball. Cook, who had fumbled twice against the Rams, was flawless with 95 rushing yards and 58 receiving yards on three catches.
The only blemish: safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected before halftime for spitting on Tyler Linderbaum. The penalty allowed Matt Gay to tie the game at 13-13 with a 27-yard field goal. Meanwhile, Allen's five-game streak of scoring a rushing touchdown came to an end, one game shy of the record held by Justin Fields.
The Bills improved their record to 5-1, while the Raiders (3-3) suffered their third consecutive loss.
