‘With that, Allen joins Michael Vick as the only other quarterback to have 700 passing yards and 150 rushing yards over a two-game span. Vick did it in 2011 with the Eagles. However, as the X account JoshAllenStats points out, Vick had four total touchdowns to five interceptions in that span – Allen has 10 touchdowns and zero interceptions over the last two weeks.’

Buffalo Bills offense makes NFL history with another scoring outburst
‘The Bills put up 48 points, marking the second game in a row in which they’ve topped the 40-point threshold. It’s also the third time this year they have scored 40 points. In the win, it also marked the eighth consecutive game the Bills have scored 30 or more points, which ties the NFL record. The Bills are now just the fifth team to accomplish this feat. The most recent team to do this was the 2013 Denver Broncos. The 2010 and 2007 Patriots also did it, as did the 2000 Rams.’
Bills motor to win over Lions in high-scoring bout
‘Just a week after putting up 42 points in a losing effort against the Los Angeles Rams, the Bills responded by putting up 48 points, and earning a huge win, 48-42, over the NFC’s best team, the Detroit Lions, at Ford Field.’
McDermott: 'Great job by the staffs,' in victory over Detroit
‘”I thought the the entire offense and offensive staff did a lot of good things. Coming out and being able to run the football was important for us, credit to our offensive line. It’s everyone, tight ends, wide receivers blocking, and the running backs. I thought Joe did a good job changing some things up and Bobby as well. So great job by the staffs.”‘
Allen on mindset against Lions: 'Win every play, whatever the play was'
‘”We’re just trying to find ways to win. And this is going to help us in the long run,” said Allen on Sunday following Buffalo’s win. “Still a lot of lot of things that we can learn from this game and take away offensively. I think we’ve got to. Too many plays left out there. To nitpick a game like that where you score 48 sounds kind of dumb, but still feel like we left some out there.”‘
Opinion: Joshua Patrick Allen: 2024 NFL MVP
‘As has been the case in almost every game this season, Allen was in complete command and control of the Bills offense. Like he did one week earlier against the Los Angeles Rams, Allen orchestrated scoring drive after scoring drive, and continually frustrated the opposing defense by making plays with his right arm and his legs.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Lions
‘No doubt a lot was circumstantial due to the score, and a great majority of it came in the second half, but the Bills defense still gave up close to 500 yards passing!’
Josh Allen & the Buffalo Bills offense has scored 90 points in last two games; is clicking at an elite level
‘”We felt like one of the ways to beat these guys is you have to score points,” Allen said after the win against Detroit. “That was our mindset. If we had to score 21 to win we would’ve tried to score 21 but we go out there each and every drive and reiterating what I said earlier just win the play.”‘

Carucci Take 2: Bills’ statement as the NFL’s best team made loudly in victory vs. Lions
‘The Bills let the world know that the conversation about which is the best team in the NFL should unquestionably lead with them.’
Where do the Bills stand in the AFC playoff picture with 3 games to go?
‘Long before the Super Bowl, though, teams like the Bills are doing all they can to improve their postseason seeds, to have the clearest possible path. The Bills won the AFC East weeks ago, and they still have a chance to secure home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, but Buffalo would need to catch some breaks, and get some help elsewhere.’
Josh Allen, Bills beat Lions in 48-42 shootout
‘The matchup lived up to the hype and it was the Bills coming away with a 48-42 victory, handing the Lions just their second loss of the year.’
Thad Brown: This the most impressive win of McDermott era
‘They won ten of their first 13 games and that included handing the mighty Chiefs their only loss. The next best victory? That was probably in Seattle with the Seahawks missing one of their top weapons. Or maybe 6-8 Miami. The AFC East has been disappointing this year. The NFC West is mediocre. The AFC South is not good after the Texans and even Houston has major flaws. Those teams made up nine of Buffalo’s first ten wins. The Bills resume was not dripping with championship validation.’

‘Lions quarterback Jared Goff also had a ridiculous day, passing for 494 yards and five scores.’
