Per an announcement from the Bills on social media, Allen became the first player in playoff history to throw three or more touchdowns while also rushing for 70+ yards and a touchdown in a playoff game.
Allen finished the win 21 of 30 passing for 203 yards, three touchdowns and no picks. He added eight carries for 74 yards and another score, which was highlighted by his 52-yard scamper to the end zone in the second quarter to give the Bills a 21-0 lead.
Overall, Allen accounted for all four of Buffalo's touchdowns.
Allen has now played in nine postseason games (all starts) and has some impressive numbers to show for it despite a 5-4 playoff record. Since his first playoff start in 2019, Allen has gone 218 of 339 passing for 2,537 yards, 20 touchdowns and just four interceptions. He's added 71 carries for 491 yards and three more scores.
The Bills and Chiefs will fight for the right to play in the AFC Championship when Sunday's Divisional Round battle kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET.
