The Buffalo Bills have been a revelation all season. First, Josh Allen and his young team stunned everybody by losing only two games so far as they kept on pounding out wins. Secondly, they went and got hold of Amari Cooper for nothing to further strengthen their receiving core.
Tonight, they faced a San Francisco 49ers squad having a strong running game to counter the heavy snow. Except, Christian McCaffrey went down early to stunt any progress for the visitors. Since then, the home team took over and their running backs secured two scores to push them into the lead.
Allen then added more to their score by throwing to Mack Hollins for a touchdown. After that score, the Bills struggled to build on a 49ers fumble as the snow started to slow things down. They gave the ball back to their backfield group, who started pushing them down the field on their next drive.
After they narrowly managed to convert a fourth and two, Allen decided to spread the ball around a bit more. In such instances, Amari Cooper works wonders as his gluelike hands and his hard running style can help gain yards.
WHAT THE?!?!?!?!

But as soon as he caught the pass, two San Francisco 49ers defenders caught him from behind. But instead of going down, Cooper stood his ground and tossed the ball back to Allen, who came up to help push him.
With the ball in his hands, Josh Allen scrambled to his left and leapt to the endzone, hitting the pylon with the ball to break the plane. The referee signaled a touchdown, suggesting Allen scored it as a receiver. But his night was not done.
Josh Allen and Bills clinch division with five games to go
The superstar quarterback was not done with the night despite sitting with a comfortable three touchdown lead. He and his teammates went back to score another one, where he scrambled up the field eight yards to score. That made him the first quarterback in NFL history to score TDs from a pass, catch and a run.
Josh Allen is having a blast both in his professional life as well as his personal life. He sat out the rest of the game as backup Mitchell Trubisky took over with the game well out the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. But more importantly, the 35-10 win helped the Bills win the AFC East.

An amazing feat considering they still have five games left to play. Which means, if the Buffalo Bills want, they can rest their starters and still be ready to play in the playoffs. But it is a mighty achievement considering a lot of people questioned their abilities before the start of the season.
