Josh Allen uses his legs to topple the Rams on MNF
Josh Allen completed just 12 passes in Week 5 but ran for 121 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Los Angeles Rams.
The Bills have regained the lead in their game against the Rams, 19-14, following a nine-play, 61-yard drive spearheaded by Josh Allen. The pivotal moment came with Allen's first touchdown pass of the night, a 7-yard strike to Keon Coleman, extending the Bills' lead to 19-14. This scoring opportunity was set up by a defensive holding penalty called on Jaylen Watson, which occurred after the Rams had stopped Allen on a 9-yard scramble on third-and-goal from the 13.
Additionally, the Bills benefited from a 21-yard defensive pass interference call on Quentin Lake, who was tasked with covering Coleman on first-and-20. The Rams' James Cook fumble was initially ruled in favor of the Rams before officials overturned the decision, returning the ball to the Bills. The Bills elected to attempt a 2-point conversion, but Alec Anderson's false start derailed their plans, leading them to kick a 38-yard extra point attempt that Tyler Bass missed.
It is worth noting that the Bills have struggled with 2-point conversions this season, converting only 0-of-2 in the current game and 3-of-12 over the past three seasons.
