For the first time since the first Bush administration, the Buffalo Bills have won a playoff game on the road. Josh Allen punched in a 1-yard touchdown with 60 seconds left to beat the Jaguars 27-24 and exorcise over three decades of road playoff demons.

The Quick Hit

  • What happened: Bills beat Jaguars 27-24 on Allen's late TD run
  • The damage: Buffalo +1.5 cashed; Jacksonville's eight-game win streak ends
  • Why you should care: The Bills are officially dangerous and headed to Denver
  • The move: Start eyeing that Divisional Round Broncos-Bills line

32 Years of Pain, Gone in 60 Seconds

The Bills hadn't won a road playoff game since January 1993, when they beat the Dolphins in the AFC Championship to advance to their third straight Super Bowl. Since then? Eight consecutive road playoff losses under coach Sean McDermott alone.

That streak was very much alive when Travis Etienne caught a 14-yard touchdown from Trevor Lawrence to put Jacksonville up 24-20 with 4:09 remaining. Bills backers everywhere were doing the math. Eight losses becomes nine. Same old story.

Then Allen happened.

The drive started at Buffalo's own 25. Allen hit Brandin Cooks for 36 yards just before the two-minute warning—a throw that required him to absorb a hit from Devin Lloyd while delivering a strike. Five plays later, Allen walked into the end zone virtually untouched for the game-winner.

The Numbers That Matter

Allen finished 28-of-35 for 273 yards and added 33 rushing yards on 11 carries. He threw one touchdown and ran for another. More importantly, he led a game-winning drive in a playoff game—something he'd never done before.

The Jaguars had one more chance. Lawrence drove to midfield before Cole Bishop picked off a deflected pass to seal it. Bishop became the first rookie safety to record a playoff interception since 2006.

If you took the Bills +1.5, you probably needed a defibrillator in the fourth quarter, but you cashed. The total went over 52.5. Same game parlays with Allen rushing attempts printed.

What's Next

Buffalo heads to Denver next weekend to face the top-seeded Broncos. It'll be their first AFC Championship appearance since... you guessed it, 1993.

The Broncos have been phenomenal at home this season, but Allen just proved he can win on the road in January. The Bills are currently +650 to win the Super Bowl at DraftKings—that number's going to shrink after this performance.

The Bottom Line

Josh Allen just did something no Bills quarterback has done in 32 years. The narrative has officially shifted from "can't win on the road" to "Denver should be worried."

Buffalo's coming for everything.
