Josh Allen came up clutch when the Buffalo Bills needed it most. The defense came up with a big stop deep in their territory to clinch a win, with defensive back Taron Johnson coming up with a huge play in the end zone on the final play.
There was nothing to indicate the Bills would be in a tight game on Sunday night. The New York Giants came in 1-4 and looked bad in every loss. Their injury report looked like an old phone book listing, and it included quarterback Daniel Jones being inactive with a neck injury.The important part for the Bills is they won a closer than expected game. A loss would have been very hard to explain.
The Giants offense didn't do much but the defense was up to the challenge. Giants coach Brian Daboll was Josh Allen's offensive coordinator early in Allen's career, and that intimate knowledge of the Bills quarterback might have helped. Allen took some big hits, at one point briefly exiting the game so he could be checked for a concussion. He also was keeping his shoulder loose and looked like he was in some discomfort.
The Bills finally moved the ball in the second half. They went on a marathon 17-play, 89-yard drive that ended with a Deonte Harty 3-yard touchdown catch. The Bills led but the long drive wasn't the worst thing for the Giants. It took nearly the entire third quarter, which shrunk the game. That helps a big underdog.
The Bills had no margin for error and Allen made the plays he had to make. His touchdown pass to Morris, rolling right and throwing back to the middle, sneaking it in between two Giants defenders, was fantastic. The Giants hadn't scored a touchdown all night at that point. Tyrod Taylor tried hitting Darius Slayton deep on fourth down, but it was knocked away with 1:45 left. At that point the game looked like it was over.
