"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Josh Allen took a pounding, doled out punishment and delivered Buffalo its first road playoff victory in more than three decades, 27-24 over Jacksonville in the AFC's wild-card opener Sunday. With linebacker Devin Lloyd bearing down on him, Allen found Brandin Cooks for 36 yards just before the two-minute warning and then capped the go-ahead drive with a 1-yard touchdown run in which Jacksonville let him score."
"Buffalo (13-5) then intercepted a deflected pass on Jacksonville's final drive to seal the victory. Focused on getting rid of the ball quickly and negating Jacksonville's pass rush most of the game, Allen completed 28 of 35 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown. He ran for two scores, was sacked just once and played turnover-free football. It was necessary considering NFL rushing leader James Cook was mostly bottled up, finishing with 46 yards on 15 carries."
