Josh Allen's record day not enough as Bills' 7-game winning streak is snapped by Rams
Josh Allen became the first player to have three touchdown passes and three rushing TDs in the same game
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — On a day when Josh Allen became the first player to have three touchdown passes and three rushing TDs in the same game, it was a play during which Buffalo's quarterback didn't reach the end zone that was the most discussed after the Bills' 44-42 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Trailing by nine late in the fourth quarter Sunday, Allen was stopped for no gain on a sneak up the middle on first-and-goal from the Rams 1-yard line. Buffalo then use the first of its three timeouts with 1:02 remaining.
“I have to find a way to get in," said Allen, who passed for 324 yards and rushed for 82. "I don’t know the stats, but I know it wasn’t good enough to win the game.”
After being stuffed, Allen went off left guard on second down for his ninth rushing score of the season to get the Bills within two points. But with a minute left, Buffalo was forced to attempt an onside kick.
