The Buffalo Bills had a number of chances to score a touchdown on a possession. However, penalties prevented them from extending their huge third quarter lead against the Denver Broncos on Saturday night. After an illegal formation penalty was called following Bills quarterback Josh Allen's touchdown pass to Isaiah McKenzie, the broadcast caught Allen jokingly saying “How many times do we gotta score?” as the referees nullified yet another Buffalo attempt to score.

Meanwhile, Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes tweeted that Allen somehow had three passing touchdowns on a single possession.
Man has 3 passing TDs on this drive somehow 😂😂😂

Nonetheless, the Bills were all laughs at that point, enjoying a 35-13 lead. In the end, Buffalo still scored on the drive and wound up winning 48-19. The victory meant they clinched the AFC East for the first time since 1995. They now hold an 11-3 record.
Allen threw two touchdown passes in the first half on Saturday and even scored one on a run. After throwing a 9-yard TD pass to Dawson Knox, the 24-year old took it upon himself on third-and-5 from the Broncos' 24-yard line, split the defense, and rushed toward the end zone.
Josh Allen now has 16 games with both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown and this marks the most since he entered the league in 2018. The Bills have, likewise, been undefeated in such outings from the rising star. Josh Allen has been one of the reasons why Buffalo has ascended to the top of the AFC East after Tom Brady's departure from the New England Patriots. The Bills certainly hope their strong season translates into a deep postseason run.
