What They’re Saying | NFL Analysts react to a fourth quarter turnaround from the Bills’ Week 14 victory

‘An MVP performance from Allen’ | Joe Buscaglia, The Athletic

Allen was determined in the second half, driving his offense down the field and putting three of four touchdowns on the board. Joe Buscaglia nodded to Allen’s performance, calling it a “superhero effort.”

The first came in the third quarter, opening the half, going 75 yards down the field in nine plays and connecting with tight end Dalton Kincaid to cap the drive off in the end zone.

Answering the Bengals’ score in the fourth quarter, Allen moved quickly, picking up 68 yards in just over one minute. This time, he took off himself, brushing past a defender attempting to sack him and running 40 yards into the end zone.

Extending Buffalo’s lead, Allen capitalized on the second interception from the Bills and got another tight end in the mix. He connected with Jackson Hawes and the rookie registered his third score of the season.

“With the Bills in need of a superhero effort with an offense that has been perplexing at best all season, reigning NFL MVP Allen took over the game in the second half … Allen put together clutch moments at clutch times and then the game-clinching 17-yard run on third-and-15 to officially put the Bengals away. In his first-ever win over a Burrow-led Bengals team, Allen accounted for 329 total yards and those four touchdowns. And with it, the Bills remain in shouting distance of the AFC East-leading New England Patriots, who are two games ahead with four to play.”
