Josh Allen scored a receiving touchdown on a pass he threw in his latest do-everything performance, and the NFL's Buffalo Bills clinched their fifth straight AFC East title with a 35-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on a snowy night.
Allen had touchdowns passing, rushing and receiving, becoming the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to do that.
His receiving touchdown came on a play in which he threw a short pass to Amari Cooper, who was wrapped up and pitched the ball back to Allen. The quarterback sprinted to the left corner of the end zone and dived past for the pylon for the score. Allen was credited with a touchdown passing and receiving, although it did not count as a reception.
Allen's final numbers: 13 of 17 passing for 148 yards and two touchdowns, three rushes for 18 yards and a score, and zero catches for seven yards and a touchdown.
