Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen delivered an all-around stellar performance in a snow-covered matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
With the win, the Bills secured the AFC East title for the fifth consecutive season, defeating the 49ers 35-10.
Fresh off his engagement to pop star Hailee Steinfeld, Allen showed no signs of distraction as he navigated the challenging lake-effect snow that blanketed Buffalo.

The superstar quarterback put on a clinic, becoming the first NFL quarterback since the merger to throw for a touchdown, run for a touchdown, and catch a touchdown in a single game, according to the Bills organization.
Allen’s night started with a 7-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mack Hollins just before halftime, giving Buffalo a commanding 21-3 lead heading into the locker room.
In the third quarter, Allen added a receiving touchdown to his stats in an unconventional play.
Wide receiver Amari Cooper caught a pass and lateraled the ball back to Allen, who ran it into the end zone.

Allen capped off his night with an 8-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, putting the game out of reach for San Francisco.
Allen finished the game with 148 passing yards on 13 completions, 18 rushing yards, and the unique addition of a receiving touchdown.
The Bills’ running game also shined under the snowy conditions. Running back James Cook broke free for a 65-yard touchdown run and ended the game with 107 rushing yards.
Ray Davis added a 5-yard touchdown run, contributing to Buffalo’s dominant offensive performance.
On the defensive side, Buffalo’s unit kept the 49ers in check throughout the game. San Francisco struggled to adjust to the slippery field, with players frequently losing their footing.
The 49ers, now 5-7 on the season, could not find an answer to Buffalo’s balanced attack. Quarterback Brock Purdy was held to just 94 passing yards, completing 11 of 18 attempts and taking two sacks.
San Francisco’s lone touchdown came from Isaac Guerendo, but it was not enough to mount a comeback.
The 49ers also suffered a significant setback when star running back Christian McCaffrey exited the game in the first half with a knee injury and did not return.
Without McCaffrey, the 49ers’ offense struggled to gain any momentum.

Buffalo’s victory extended their winning streak to seven games, improving their record to 10-2 on the season.
The team looks poised to make another deep playoff run, with Allen continuing to demonstrate why he is one of the league’s elite quarterbacks.
Meanwhile, the 49ers face an uphill battle to salvage their season as their playoff hopes dwindle.
Buffalo will look to maintain its dominance as the regular season winds down, while San Francisco will need to regroup quickly to avoid further slipping in the standings.
