Buffalo noted the play tied the franchise record for longest touchdown pass in history. In 2009, Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Terrell Owens for a 98-yard pass against the Jaguars in Jacksonville on Nov. 22, 2009. The team also noted that Allen’s now 147 career touchdown passes is more than Peyton Manning had through his first five seasons.
Buffalo was looking to take advantage of Pittsburgh, which decided to start rookie Kenny Pickett at quarterback. The Bills narrowly defeated the Baltimore Ravens 23-20 last weekend.
