The Buffalo Bills needed Josh Allen to have a big game on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Chargers to keep their playoff hopes alive, and he delivered.

The Bills defeated the Chargers 24-22 on Saturday night at SoFi Stadium to improve to 9-6 on the season and rise in the AFC standings, jumping from a team on the bubble at No. 8 to in the playoff picture at No. 6.

Allen completed 15 of 21 passes for 237 yards and one touchdown against one interception in the win, in addition to rushing for 15 yards and two touchdowns on five carries.

With his two rushing touchdowns, Allen joined former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton as the only quarterbacks in NFL history with 50-plus rushing scores in their career.

One of the biggest plays of the game came with the Bills down 22-21 to the Chargers late in the fourth quarter. With 2:34 remaining in the final frame, Allen found wide receiver Khalil Shakir on third-and-four at the L.A. 28-yard line to secure a first down and keep the team’s drive alive.

The play was initially ruled a touchdown, but overturned after Shakir was deemed to be down by contact upon video review. Although no touchdown was scored, it was arguably the most important play of the game as it helped set the Bills up for the game-winning field goal.
