Bills clinch the AFC’s No. 2 seed with a 40-14 rout of the undisciplined Jets

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen reflected on Buffalo’s many offseason critics and doubters when asked about the Bills achieving their latest milestones while sewing up the AFC’s No. What’s unquestioned is how Allen and the Bills overcame a young, patchwork roster following the offseason departure of six of eight team captains — including Stefon Diggs being traded to Houston — to run away with their fifth consecutive AFC East title and win a franchise-best 13 games for the fifth time in team history, and third since 2020. And what he has done on this team and this organization in this community — and no offense to anybody else — but I’ve got a hard time believing that someone’s done more.” Allen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to become the NFL’s first player to score 40 touchdowns in five consecutive seasons. Shavers became the 13th Bills player to catch a touchdown pass, matching the single-season NFL record, to validate the “everybody eats” mantra Allen and the offense used to approach this season. “But it just shows that this is what we can do and this is the standard that needs to be upheld.” Milestones Allen’s 1-yard score was the 65th rushing TD of his career, matching the team record held by Thurman Thomas.. James Cook scored on a 4-yard run for his 15th TD rushing of the season, one short of the Bills’ single-season record set by O.J.
