Best Play: Josh Allen’s Thanksgiving fourth down & postseason TD
Josh Allen is involved in both of the best plays of the year for the Bills. On Thanksgiving, as he has done many times, he turned a near disaster into a triumph. Allen fumbled a snap on fourth-and-1 but had the wherewithal to push his way forward for the first down. It was a major moment, as many were shocked that he could recover from the fumble and move the chains. The play, with the game tied 7-7, helped fuel the Bills to a drive that ended with a touchdown and the team did not relinquish the lead for the rest of the Thanksgivign holiday.
The John Brown touchdown pass also receives an award in this category, as it was an amazing play that definitely got fans out of their seats. Allen faked a handoff to running back Frank Gore, then pitched the ball to Brown.
Brown then air-mailed a pass to the reverse side of the field, hitting Allen inside the five-yard-line. Allen went end-over-end into the end after being met by a Houston defender. The play was impressive for its execution and the guts it took for offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to call such a play. The touchdown opened the scoring in the Wild Card game against the Texans. Brown completed another touchdown pass to running back Devin Singletary earlier in the year, too.
