And it happened again on the next series, when facing third-and-8 from the Philadelphia 27. Allen rolled to his left and reversed field before being caught from behind by Jalyx Hunt for a 19-yard loss, forcing a punt rather than a field-goal opportunity.

The decision to go for two instead of kicking an extra point and sending the game to overtime was a bold one by Bills head coach Sean McDermott. Buffalo had the momentum, scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and its defense had shut down the Eagles' offense in the second half.

Josh Allen dropped back and felt pressure almost immediately. It was the first quarter of his first NFL start. And he responded by doing what he often did in college at Wyoming — and what has become his signature move in the NFL. Allen evaded the rush ...

But Allen and Buffalo were undeterred. Ray Davis had a huge kick return to open the second half, and Allen capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown to Dawson Knox. Then, the maligned Buffalo defense, shredded throughout the first half, got a three-and-out, and the Bills marched down the field again, with Cook powering in from 3 yards out.

Josh Allen has set a new career high as the Buffalo Bills ' quarterback, but unfortunately, it's not a good one. Following Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, which included Allen getting sacked five times for a loss of 51 total yards, he has now set a new single-season record with 40 sacks surrendered.
