Josh Allen Leads Buffalo to Wild-Card Upset Over Jacksonville, Ends Road Playoff Drought
Josh Allen has been called upon to take on the tough task of leading his team to victory in crucial situations. In Sunday's AFC wild-card opener, Allen proved once again why he is a force to be reckoned with as he spearheaded Buffalo to a 27-24 win over Jacksonville.
The Bills' offense was largely focused on getting rid of the ball quickly and negating Jacksonville's pass rush most of the game. This strategy worked for them perfectly as Josh Allen completed 28 of 35 passes for 273 yards, while also showcasing his toughness by delivering two touchdowns runs and playing turnover-free football.
Allen's efficiency under pressure continued to impress, particularly after being battered in the first half but refusing to miss a snap. The Bills' quarterback showed no signs of slowing down despite a double tackle from Jacksonville's Travon Walker that left him with bloodied ear and bruised leg.
Meanwhile, Allen also demonstrated his resolve as he charged forward to score two touchdowns runs, showing he has what it takes to win big games. Buffalo (13-5) will face either Denver or New England next week in the playoffs, where they can build on this road playoff victory for the first time since 1992.
The Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence finished with a decent performance but could not hold off Allen's relentless pace as the Bills secured their first-ever road playoff win. Coach Liam Coen will likely face scrutiny over his team's conservative running game strategy against Buffalo's stingy defense.
Buffalo (13-5) intercepted a deflected pass on Jacksonville's final drive, sealing the victory and sending shockwaves throughout the NFL.

Josh Allen is literally a superhero on the field. I love how he just didn't give up even when he got hurt, still managed to throw for 273 yards and score two touchdowns runs. That double tackle from Travon Walker did look nasty tho 
. And I'm so happy Buffalo finally broke their road playoff drought, they deserve it! 
Liam Coen's strategy might be called into question, but let's see how they do in the playoffs first. Bring on Denver or New England! 
And that interception on Jacksonville's final drive? Perfect. Buffalo needed that win so badly.
. That dude's toughness is on another level 
his ability to stay calm under pressure is insane he was getting slammed by that Travon Walker guy but still just kept on truckin' and throwing those touchdowns 
I'm also loving how the Bills played it safe with their passing game, it was all about getting the ball out quick and avoiding a rough day for Josh. now they gotta take on one of those heavy hitters in Denver or NE next week 
but he just shook it off and kept playing like a total boss 
i need to see more of that from him next week against denver or new england hopefully buffalo will build on this road playoff win and make some noise in the playoffs 
and can we talk about his touchdown runs? man, he just CHARGED FORWARD 
like nothing was stopping him. i'm so hyped for the Bills to make it to the next round, they've been waiting so long for this!!! 
meanwhile, buffalo wins their first road playoff game in over 30 yrs...nice to see josh allen lead them to victory 
. That double tackle in the first half was CRAZY 
, but he didn't even flinch, just kept on going 
!
! And Allen's touchdown runs were so sick 
. Trevor Lawrence put up a good fight, but Josh just had that extra oomph 
!
! The Bills' defense is straight fire 
!
anywayz, can someone pls explain to me why they showed buffalo's defense in that video? was it supposed to show how bad jax's offense is or wut 
and that defensive play at the end was pure clutch 
Trevor Lawrence put up some decent numbers but it wasn't enough against Allen's team. I think the Bills' strategy of just getting rid of the ball quick worked really well for them too, negating Jacksonville's pass rush most of the game 
. can't wait to see what they do next week in the playoffs 
. anyway, buffalo's first road playoff win in 33 years is SO COOL 
. The Bills' defense was on point, shutting down Jacksonville's offense and giving Allen the space to make those clutch plays 
) but still found ways to power through and make it happen 
. Trevor Lawrence's game wasn't bad but Allen's performance was just 
!
Trevor Lawrence couldn't hold off his pace I guess you gotta respect Josh's toughness 
. And can we talk about this road playoff win for the first time since 1992
