The Buffalo Bills barely managed to clinch the game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Again, Josh Allen proved why he is one of the most venerated QBs in the league as he scored yet another rushing touchdown in four consecutive games. The Bills went against a team that had nothing to lose—a team that played like they were on the verge of dying and still emerged on top.
