JOSH ALLEN THREW for 317 yards and three touchdowns and ran for three more to power the Buffalo Bills over Tampa Bay 44-32 in a Sunday meeting of NFL contenders.
The reigning NFL Most Valuable Player completed 19-of-30 passes and ran six times for 40 yards as Buffalo improved to 7-3, 1.5 games behind NFL-best New England (9-2) in the AFC East division.
Allen became the only player in NFL history with multiple games of three rushing and passing touchdowns.
“I’m doing my job,” Allen said. “Things weren’t going the way we wanted, (we were) just trying to find a way to reset. (I) trusted my feet and finding completions, we did that better in the second half.”

Undaunted, Allen drove the Bills 81 yards in eight plays to score on a five-yard run and added a nine-yard touchdown run with 2:35 remaining off an 85-yard march to secure Buffalo’s victory.
“(We) turned the ball over three times and somehow found a way to win the way we did, that speaks a lot to the resiliency we have in this locker room,” Allen said.
“We’re going to try to use this momentum going forward.”
Sean Tucker ran for 106 yards and two touchdowns for Tampa Bay (6-4).
