The New England Patriots are usually known for drawing up trick plays in the red zone but the Buffalo Bills gave them a taste of their own medicine on Saturday. In the waning seconds of the second quarter, Josh Allen threw a touchdown to Dion Dawkins and the offensive lineman celebrated in highlight fashion.
BIG MAN TD!

Before the play, Dawkins had to report himself as eligible by rubbing his stomach. When the ball was snapped, Allen faked the handoff to Frank Gore and immediately turned his attention to the left side of the field.
In the back of the end zone, Dawkins was wide open and Allen gave him an easy pass to handle. After completing the process of a catch, the big offensive lineman showed off his footwork with impressive dance moves.
Dawkins, a second-round pick for the Bills in 2017, has now recorded the second touchdown reception of his career. Buffalo now knows that Dawkins can be relied upon as a weapon in the red zone in future instances.
