NFL roundup: Allen leads Bills' thrilling comeback; Steelers notch crucial win over Ravens
"The Buffalo Bills (9-4) rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Cincinnati Bengals (4-9). Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns and ran for one, and Christian Benford scored the go-ahead TD on a 63-yard interception return. Allen's 40-yard TD rush broke his record for the longest by a Bills quarterback. Buffalo flipped the game with big plays on defense on a snowy afternoon. Benford and defensive end AJ Epenesa intercepted Joe Burrow on consecutive plays from scrimmage, leading to the Bills scoring three touchdowns in a span of 4:20 in the fourth quarter."
"Aaron Rodgers threw for 284 yards and a touchdown and even ran for TD in perhaps his best game with the Steelers, and Pittsburgh (7-6) took sole possession of first place in the AFC North, holding on for victory over the Ravens (6-7) when a Baltimore touchdown with 2:43 remaining was overturned by a replay review. Isaiah Likely secured a pass from Lamar Jackson with two hands in the end zone, and both his feet came down, but as he was about to complete another step with his right foot, Joey Porter Jr knocked the ball free. It was initially called a touchdown but then changed to incomplete. The Ravens eventually turned the ball over on downs."
"The Green Bay Packers (9-3-1) have overtaken the Chicago Bears (9-4) for first place in the NFC North. Keisean Nixon intercepted Caleb Williams' pass in the end zone with 22 seconds remaining to seal Green Bay's win over Chicago. The Bears were facing fourth-and-one from Green Bay's 14-yard line when Williams faked a handoff and rolled to his left. Tight end Cole Kmet had gotten behind Nixon in the end zone, but Nixon made a leaping catch of the underthrown pass. Josh Jacobs scored the tiebreaking touchdown on a two-yard run with 3:32 remaining as the Packers won their fourth straight and snapped Chicago's five-game win streak."
Buffalo staged a fourth-quarter comeback against Cincinnati as Josh Allen accounted for four touchdowns and Christian Benford returned an interception 63 yards for the go-ahead score. Defensive takeaways by Benford and AJ Epenesa triggered three Bills touchdowns in a 4:20 span. Pittsburgh moved into first in the AFC North after Aaron Rodgers passed for 284 yards and the Steelers held off Baltimore when a late Ravens touchdown was overturned on review. Green Bay overtook Chicago in the NFC North as Keisean Nixon intercepted Caleb Williams in the end zone to seal the Packers' win and Josh Jacobs scored the tiebreaking touchdown.
