In a thrilling AFC wild-card playoff game, the Buffalo Bills emerged victorious, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-17. The game, which was postponed by a day due to a lake-effect blizzard, showcased the brilliance of Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who was instrumental in leading his team to victory.

Allen put on a stellar performance, throwing three touchdown passes and accomplishing a franchise playoff-record 52-yard touchdown run. His 17-yard touchdown pass to Khalil Shakir with just over six minutes remaining in the game sealed the win for the Bills. Shakir displayed remarkable agility, evading a tackle from Minkah Fitzpatrick before racing into the end zone. Allen's ability to both throw and run for touchdowns made him the first quarterback in NFL playoff history to achieve three or more touchdown passes while rushing for 70 or more yards and a score.
