DEN 24 BUF 22
Josh Allen’s rushing TD put the Bills up 22-21 late in the fourth quarter, leaving the Broncos with less than two minutes on the clock.
After two first downs, Denver faced a third and long and Buffalo sent the all-out blitz at Russell Wilson, who chucked the ball towards Jerry Jeudy.
The pass was underthrown, leading defensive back Taron Johnson to commit pass interference. That resulted in a 28-yard gain and put the Broncos in position for the game-winning kick.
With no timeouts, Wilson centered the ball and ran off the field for what Peyton Manning called a “mayday” field goal as the clock ticked down.
Will Lutz lined up the kick and… missed wide right! But the Bills were flagged for 12 men on the field, giving Lutz a second chance. He made it from 36 yards. Final score: Broncos 24, Bills 22.
Opposite directions: The Broncos (4-5) have won three straight and four of six since their 70-20 loss to the Dolphins. The Bills (5-5) have lost two straight and four of six.
