Last postseason, the Buffalo Bills had a haunting loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in which Patrick Mahomes somehow drove his team for a game-tying field goal with just 13 seconds left in regulation.
Allen had 23 seconds in a tie game and got the job done. He threw a deep pass down the middle to Stefon Diggs to get the Bills in field-goal range, two Allen runs got kicker Tyler Bass closer, and Bass hit the field goal with two seconds left — making up for a missed field goal with 2:40 left — for a 28-25 win.
The Bills took a 14-7 lead in the second quarter but it never seemed like they'd run away from the Lions despite being big favorites coming in. Jared Goff played well against a highly ranked Bills defense. The Lions' run game didn't get a ton of yards but they were physical and helped keep drives going. And the Lions defense, which was the worst in the NFL through seven games, continued its resurgence.
Even when the Bills sacked Goff in the end zone for a safety right after Allen's red-zone interception, Detroit wouldn't go away.The Lions couldn't put the Bills away, and finally Buffalo did put together a long drive. Two plays later, Diggs caught a laser from Allen for a go-ahead score with 2:40 left. It capped a 14-play, 90-yard drive. Bass missed the extra point though, and that was enormous in a 25-22 game.
