Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a thrilling 39-34 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in snowy conditions at Highmark Stadium on Sunday. The Bills trailed by as many as 10 points with just under eight minutes left in the game, but rallied behind Allen's impressive play to secure their ninth win of the season.
The Bengals took an early lead with a 14-play, 67-yard drive that culminated in Chase Brown's touchdown catch. However, Buffalo responded with field goals and Allen showed off his own magic by scrambling for a 40-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit to just one point. The Bills' momentum continued as Christian Benford intercepted Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on the next play, and A.J. Epenesa picked up where he left off by snagging another interception that flipped the field in favor of Buffalo.
The turning point came when Allen found tight end Jackson Hawes for a three-yard score, and the Bills' faithful fans went wild. The Bengals tried to mount a comeback but ultimately fell short, with Higgins securing a one-handed touchdown that sealed the win for Buffalo.
Allen finished the game 22-for-28 for 251 yards with three touchdown passes, while rushing for 78 yards on nine carries. Cook added 80 yards on 18 carries and two catches for 31 yards, while Dawson Knox had 93 yards on six receptions. The Bengals fell to 4-9, while the Bills improved their record to 9-4.
The win marked another thrilling matchup in a Josh Allen-Joe Burrow duel, with both quarterbacks putting on a show in front of their fans.

! josh allen is literally a superhero out there!! 
how he came back from being down 10 points and still managed to lead his team to a win is just incredible. and that turning point when he threw to jackson hawes for a td was clutch!!! 
i loved how the crowd went wild too, it's always so much fun to watch live sports in person! 
as for the bengals, they just couldn't keep up with allen's magic 
. can't wait to see what happens next season!!
Josh Allen is like the ultimate thrill-seeker, right? And that one-handed catch by Higgins at the end was pure magic 
. I'm surprised he didn't make it to the moon with that ball! 
But seriously, those two QBs are always putting on a show – it's like they're competing in some kinda crazy quarterback Olympics 
. The Bills' fans must've been having the time of their lives, all bundled up and cheering on their team... I'm pretty sure I'd have frozen my buns off if I was there! 
, but man, how did they manage to trail by as many as 10 points and still find a way to win? 
Josh Allen is literally a superhero on the field right now 
, but I wish he'd work on his accuracy a bit more - those 2 INTs are just worrying 
. Still, the team's resilience is something to be proud of 
and I'm hyped for their playoff push 
!
I'm not surprised the Bengals got creamed in this one 
. And can we talk about the Bills' defense for a sec? Those guys were like a bunch of ninjas out there, snatching ints left and right 
. But what I love about this game is how the turning point came when everyone just believed in each other - Jackson Hawes' three-yard score was like a spark that ignited the whole team's energy 
it was like he had a few magic moves up his sleeve. and can we talk about christian benford's interception skills? 
those fans must've been on cloud nine after that. and in the end, it was all josh allen's team taking home the win 
9-4, that's an awesome record!
. It's like they said in politics, "You can't win if you don't even show up" 
. It's like in politics when you have your chance to pass a bill but can't get the votes to make it happen 
. Anyway, I'm hyped about this win for the Bills, but it's gonna be interesting to see how they finish out the season 
. And let's be real, that duel between Allen and Burrow? 
Can't wait for the rematch! 
.
gotta give it to Buffalo's fans too, they were going wild when Jackson Hawes scored and sealed the win for them 
can't wait to see what's next for both teams!
i was watching it live and my nerves were literally shattered when they were down by 10 points 
what a relief when buffalo came back from behind like that, i was screaming at the TV "come on buffalo" 
and Higgins' one-handed catch to seal it for them was just pure magic 
. Even when we're down 10 points, we can still come back strong if we believe in ourselves and our team 
️. When Allen found his rhythm on the field, he was unstoppable 
.
. Josh Allen is a GENIUS 
, I mean have you seen him scramble for those TDs? That guy's got skills for days 
. The Bills are looking strong this season, can they make the playoffs? 
, and his ability to scramble for touchdowns was insane
