Josh Allen threw three touchdown passes and scored on a franchise playoff-record 52-yard touchdown run. He helped the Buffalo Bills best rival Steelers.
The Buffalo Bills beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-17 on Monday in an AFC wild-card playoff game that was postponed a day because of a lake-effect blizzard.
Allen threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Khalil Shakir with 6:27 remaining, Shakir caught the pass at the 10 over the middle, spun around, and got to the end zone.
The second-seeded Bills (12-6), who closed the regular season with five straight wins, advanced to host Patrick Mahomes and the No. 3 seed Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round on Sunday night.
Allen finished 21 of 30 for 203 yards and ran for 74 yards on eight carries, becoming the first quarterback in NFL playoff history to throw three or more TD passes while rushing for 70 or more yards and a score.
The Bills had to wait an extra day to host the Steelers after a dangerous snowstorm that dumped more than 2 feet of snow on the region.
