With all eyes fixed on Monday’s NFL wild-card playoff games, Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen once again rose to the occasion in prime time with an electric highlight against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
An early 14–0 lead for Buffalo, the AFC’s No. 2 seed, gave the team a surge of momentum heading into the offense’s fifth drive. With the Bills facing third-and-7 on their own 48-yard line, Allen took off downfield, breaking a few tackles along the way, on a dazzling 52-yard scramble to the endzone.
The quarterback’s sensational touchdown sent the Buffalo crowd into a frenzy while rightfully mesmerizing fans online as clips of Allen’s score went viral:
OH MY, JOSH ALLEN 😱

The Bills would go into halftime with a 21–7 lead but, thanks to his huge play and refusal to slide, Allen, likely to the chagrin of Tom Brady, was the top story of the first half after his epic run:
