WATCH: Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen Finds Dalton Kincaid For TD vs. Denver Broncos
The Buffalo Bills continued to show little life toward the end of the first half in Monday's meeting with the Denver Broncos at Highmark Stadium.
And despite trailing 15-8 headed into halftime, rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid gave Buffalo a jolt of energy and provided the team's first points of the game on a 22-yard touchdown grab from Josh Allen.
Buffalo was trailing 9-0 prior to the score, but Bills receiver Gabe Davis caught the ensuing two-point conversion to make it a 9-8 game.
Take a look at Kincaid's score:
The touchdown is Kincaid's second of his career. He caught his first against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8. Allen had to make sure the rookie remembered to keep the ball.
"We call them SFRs, 'stupid rookies,'" Allen said jokingly while intentionally leaving out the expletive. "You never know what they're gonna do on their first touchdown so I stole it from him and made sure I got it to our equipment manager."

Kincaid's key performance came just a few days after he had his breakout game in a 29-25 loss to the New England Patriots, which saw him post eight grabs for 75 yards. Kincaid continues to gain the trust of Allen, and will be a valuable piece moving forward for the Buffalo offense.
"As much as a stupid rookie that he is, he feels like - and a lot of guys will say this - he feels like he's been in this league for a long time," Allen said of Kincaid. "He's a professional, he takes it very serious and it's a business to him. So just his approach has been fantastic. The trust that I have in him is going to continue to grow.”
