After a historic performance in the AFC Wild Card round against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills‘ QB1 Josh Allen issued an update on his injury. The reigning MVP had a massive fourth quarter, but there were doubts before that. In the first quarter, Allen was seen heading to the blue medical tent after a third-down run late in the first quarter. After the game, the quarterback addressed the incident.

“Yeah, it was more of a precautionary thing,” Allen said about his injury during his post-game presser. “I just got rolled up on, and they want to take a quick look, but we’re all good.”

The incident occurred as Buffalo faced a third down just outside the red zone when Buffalo’s QB1 made a run play to move the chains. But at the end of this action, Jacksonville’s Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen landed awkwardly on Allen’s head and neck area. His left ear also appeared to be bleeding, but he was cleared and returned.

However, this wasn’t the only injury concern for Josh Allen as he later slammed his right hand into the helmet of right guard O’Cyrus Torrence after releasing the ball. And he then was dealt with his third injury of the game when his left leg got bent awkwardly on his 2-yard TD run.

But battling these issues, Allen recorded his first career game-winning drive to cap off a 28-of-35 pass for 273 yards with one passing touchdown and two rushing touchdowns. This stellar effort propelled the Bills to a 27-24 victory, marking their first road playoff triumph in over three decades.

Before this win, the Bills had a 0-5 record on the road in the playoffs under coach Sean McDermott. This losing streak started with a 10-3 loss at Jacksonville in the 2017 wild-card round. After this defeat, Buffalo lost eight consecutive postseason games on the road since winning at Miami in the 1992 AFC Championship Game. It had been the NFL’s second-longest active road playoff losing streak.

After this win, the Bills’ QB1 was charged as Buffalo faces another road matchup in the AFC Divisional game.
