Bills’ Josh Allen throws and catches TD on same play for spectacular snow-game score like you’ve never seen

Well, you haven’t seen this one before.

Josh Allen scored one of the more remarkable touchdowns of this — or any — season Sunday night in Buffalo’s 35-10 blowout of the San Francisco 49ers.

The Bills quarterback was credited with a touchdown pass and a touchdown reception on the same play. But somehow he came away without a reception in the box score.

Here’s how it went down.

The Bills faced first-and-goal in the third quarter while holding a 21-3 lead. Allen took a snap from under center and thew a quick pass in the left flat to Amari Cooper, who juggled the ball before gaining control.

By the time Cooper had corralled the pass, two 49ers defenders were on him and he was facing the opposite end zone, looking directly at Allen, who’d continued running to his left.

So Cooper gave Allen the ball right back. He lateraled the ball backward to Allen, who caught it and then ran around the left edge. He then dove past three defenders with the ball outstretched in his right hand.

Allen hit the pylon with the ball for a Bills touchdown to extend Buffalo’s lead to 28-3. And Highmark Stadium went wild. Not even in their wildest snow-game dreams could Bills fans have imagined this one.

And again — in addition to earning the passing touchdown — Allen was credited with a receiving touchdown. But he wasn’t credited with a catch. The catch belongs to Cooper for a 2-yard loss. Here’s how it looks in the NFL.com play-by-play:

Allen also rushed for a touchdown on Buffalo’s next drive. Per NBC, he’s the first quarterback in NFL history to log a rushing, passing and receiving touchdown in the same game.

Allen finished the 35-10 win completing 13 of 17 passes for 148 yards with two passing touchdowns and no turnovers. He ran three times for 18 yards and another touchdown. And he caught zero passes for 7 yards and a touchdown. Again, this is straight from the box score.

Have yourself a night, Josh Allen. And enjoy, Bills fans. And good luck to fantasy managers trying to sort this one out.
