The defeated the San Francisco 49ers on national television phase to improve to 10-2.
On a snowy night in Orchard Park, QB Josh Allen and the offense didn't miss a beat as he made good progress in the game.
He even did something no quarterback in history has done before: He scored a receiving touchdown on a pass he originally threw.
This is the most ridiculous thing we've ever seen.

Receiver Amari Cooper made a one-handed catch with several Niners defenders wrapping around him as he threw the ball back to Allen.
The QB put on his Superman cape and ran toward the left pylon before reaching out to get the ball into the net as it flew through the air and landed in the snow outside the field.
“It has to be up there. I wish he got credit for something there, an assist or a passing touchdown.” by Cooper. “I just chased the ball to be there and we made eye contact. … It was awesome.”
Cooper noted that he played the heads-up instinctively in a moment of quick thinking. He saw Allen nearby and thought he wanted the ball.
“I was wondering what he was doing there,” Cooper said. “I thought he was over there because he wanted the ball, so I gave it to him.”
It was a historic day for the Bills as they won the AFC East title for the fifth consecutive year, becoming one of the few clubs to ever do so with five games remaining in the regular season.
Allen also made more history, surpassing Hall of Famer and Bills legend Jim Kelly's franchise record of 244 total touchdowns, including 247 himself, at just 28 years old.
He finished 13 of 17 games for 148 yards and two touchdowns to go, with three rushes for 18 yards and a score and zero catches for 7 yards with a TD.
He's making a strong case for MVP candidacy along the way, but his focus is on continuing to chase and hopefully surpass Kansas City (11-1) for the AFC's No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
“It's a good feeling. “It feels a little different this early in the season,” Allen said. “I mean, it'll be fun to go out there and play freely and play relaxed and play loose. I think they could be a dangerous team.”
He'll have plenty of opportunity to do that, as next up are away games against the Rams and Lions, followed by home games against the Patriots and Jets before the final road game against New England.
