Pokes in the Pros: Week 11

LARAMIE, Wyoming (11/19/24) –
CBS’ play-by-play personality, Jim Nance, proclaimed it as Josh Allen crossed the goal line at Highmark Stadium. Simply put with a heap of emotion behind it Nance said, ‘Oh, the play of the year in the NFL.

Allen scrambled for a 26-yard touchdown on a fourth and two late in Buffalo’s 30-21 victory over Kansas City. The score, with just over two minutes to play, made it a two-score game, and it eventually marked the Chiefs’ first loss of the season in what was another classically-compelling duel between Allen and Patrick Mahomes.

Allen, the former University of Wyoming quarterback, finished the game 27-for-40 for 262 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also led the Bills in rushing with 12 carries totaling 55 yards and one score.

For the season, Allen is 217-for-339 for 2,543 yards with 18 touchdowns and just five picks. On the ground, he’s carried it 67 times for 316 yards and five scores.
