‘In that game, Allen will likely pass current Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh in career passing yards. Allen needs 191 passing yards to pass Harbaugh, who threw for 26,288 yards during his 14-year career.’

‘In a game that was billed as a possible Super Bowl preview, the Buffalo Bills led from start to finish while receiving another MVP-caliber effort from quarterback Josh Allen. Allen tallied 430 yards and four total touchdowns in leading Buffalo to a 48-42 win in Motown.’

‘”This game, I think, is going to be played back again on Feb. 9,” Nantz said. “For today, there’s a lot on the line for both sides, but I think they’re playing for the right to be the next crowned ‘America’s Team.'”‘

‘The final touchdown of the game came with just 12 seconds left when Jared Goff hit Jameson Williams for a three-yard score. That TD ended up being a big one because it gave us a scorigami: The 48-42 final marked the first time in NFL history that a game had ever ended with that exact score.’

‘In the process, Allen passed Hall of Fame running back Lenny Moore in career touchdown runs. He is now tied with fellow Hall of Fame running back Larry Csonka for 49th on the all-time list for career rushing touchdowns.’

‘CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson is reporting that Josh Allen is expected to get back wide receiver Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid vs. Detroit. The rookie Coleman has missed the last four games due to a wrist injury, while Kincaid has missed the last three games due to a knee injury.’

‘Score: Lions 34, Bills 31.’

‘Goff has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this year, which is why he’s an MVP candidate. He ranks second in completion percentage (72.4%), eighth in passing yards (3,265), fifth in passing touchdowns (25) and second in passer rating (109.1). However, Allen is on a different level.’

‘But at this point in time, Josh Allen is showing that he still has a tremendous upside yet to be attained in his game. I’ve never poo-pooed players, but it’s clear that when you’ve got a diva wide receiver that you’ve gotta keep happy, he may have been forcing some things [in past years.] Now, he can go wherever the open person is. And when they’re not there, he is still a one-man Paul Bunyan wrecking crew. He is willing his team across the goal line. … [And] let’s give Sean McDermott his credit. That man knows how to coach.”‘

‘This game will be decided by how brilliantly Bills quarterback Josh Allen plays against Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and his second-ranked scoring defense (18.0 points per game allowed this season), particularly when they blitz.’

‘The United States Senate unanimously voted Tuesday to pass the HEARTS Act, a bill supported by Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin that will provide grants to schools to support the purchase of automated external defibrillators, CPR and AED training, and the development of cardiac emergency response plans. The Cardiomyopathy Health Education, Awareness, Research and Training in Schools (HEARTS) Act, a bipartisan bill spearheaded by Hamlin and New York state Senator Chuck Schumer, will now only need to be signed by President Joe Biden to become law.’

‘With the loss, the Bills made NFL history by basically inventing a new way to lose. Going into Week 14, NFL teams that scored at least six touchdowns with zero turnovers had gone 245-0 in the Super Bowl era (including playoffs).’

‘Allen was a one-man wrecking crew for Buffalo against the Rams, throwing for 342 yards while rushing for a team-high 82 yards on 10 carries, in a 44-42 defeat. Only Pro Football Hall of Famer Otto Graham, a three-time MVP who quarterbacked the Cleveland Browns from 1946-1955, also scored three times as both a passer and rusher, but he did it in the 1954 NFL Championship Game, well before the 1966 merger between the AFL and NFL.’

‘This matchup was a clash of two high-powered offenses, and there was no shortage of points. Out of the shoot, these teams cruised up and down the field, scoring on their opening possessions and largely matched one another throughout the contest. The Rams entered halftime with a double-digit lead, but the Bills continued to hang around and make a surge in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to just three points.’

‘The transformation starts with this. No quarterback has seen a more drastic shift in avoiding turnovers than Allen, who is playing the most efficient (or “clean”) football of his career. His turnover rate has dropped from 3.1% of plays in 2023 to 1.6% this season, the biggest improvement in the league (-1.5% drop). He had 22 giveaways last year, second-most in the NFL and has just seven so far in 2024.’
