As the Bills now look to the AFC Divisional round vs. Ravens (11-5), their win against the Colts came with some milestones that deserve some recognition first. The 27-24 win itself was Buffalo’s first playoff victory in 25 years, but there was more where that came from.
Here’s a rundown of a couple of those postseason milestones a couple of Bills (13-3) players reached vs. the Colts last week:
- K Tyler Bass connected on his first-career playoff kick from 46 yards and then set an NFL record. His next, from 54 was the longest-ever kick for a rookie in the postseason.
- In throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another, QB Josh Allen became the first player in Bills history to do so.
- The Bills had a 96-yard scoring drive on offense which finished with a rushing score from Allen. That was the longest scoring drive in team history.
- Allen had 300-plus passing yards, a 70-plus completion percentage and rushed for 50-plus yards. He’s the only player in NFL history to do so in a single-game.
- In his career, Allen has rushed, thrown, and caught a touchdown dating back to 2019’s postseason. He’s only one of five players in NFL history to do so.
- Sean McDermott joined Marv Levy (11), Lou Saban (2) and Chuck Knox (1) as the only coaches in Bills history to win a playoff game.
- WR Gabriel Davis had four catches for 85 yards. That’s the best rookie receiving game in the postseason ever by Bill.
- Allen completed 12-straight passes during the game, surpassing Jim Kelly’s previous record of nine.
