Josh Allen is never shy to make a run in the endzone

Drafted back in 2018, Josh Allen has always been elusive on his feet. With 18 seconds left on the clock in the first half, the Bills lined up 1st and Goal at the Colts’ 5-yard-line.

After faking a run play, Allen proceeded to take matters into his own hands. Down 10-7, Allen rushed into the endzone breaking tackles to get his side the lead.

Allen looped the ball in the air to TE Dawson Knox at the endzone to get the Bills’ first points on the board. With their last playoff win coming all the way back in 1995, the Bills will be hoping to extend their lead going into the 2nd half.

A dual-threat quarterback with an ever-improving arm, Allen looks like just what the Bills needed all these years.
