The Buffalo Bills sparked their comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals thanks to back-to-back interceptions of Joe Burrow. But that fact can’t discredit the Herculean effort by Josh Allen to keep his team within striking distance in the first place and in the end, when it mattered most.
The reigning NFL MVP earned the familiar chants from the stands at Highmark Stadium for Allen to win it again. His unfathomable connection with Khalil Shakir for an early touchdown on a fourth-and-4, a 40-yard touchdown gallop through the snow, and a 17-yard scramble to ice the game on a third-and-15 all bear the mark of an MVP candidate rising to the occasion in clutch December moments.
