Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had fun in the snow as his team produced an offensive avalanche to blow away the San Francisco 49ers 35-10 in the NFL on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Allen achieved the unique feat of throwing, catching and rushing for a touchdown in the same game — according to NFL.com he became the first quarterback to score in all three ways in a league game.<\/p>\n

The play of the game came in the third quarter when Allen threw a short pass to Amari Cooper, who threw it back to him and Allen caught the ball before rushing into the end zone to make it 28-3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I threw a bad ball. I was worried it was going to get tipped up in the air and picked, so I was just kind of chasing it,” said Allen.<\/p>\n

“I made eye contact with Coop. He’s a vet. Saw me, I put my hands out, he tossed it to me, and I had to make a play,” he said, before noting the fantasy football points significance of him being credited a touchdown pass and catch on the same play.<\/p>\n

Earlier, James Cook had scored an equally spectacular but more orthodox touchdown when he rushed 65 yards over the snow-covered field mid-way through the second to make it 14-3.<\/p>\n

Allen followed up that score with a 7-yard pass to Mack Hollins, finished off the rout by rushing in himself for an 8-yard score as the impressive Bills moved to 10-2 and clinched the AFC East division crown and a playoff berth.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson continued his renaissance, throwing for 414 yards and three touchdowns as the Steelers won 44-38 at the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n

Wilson, a Super Bowl winner with Seattle in 2014, was released by Denver last year and signed on a one-year veteran minimum deal with the Steelers.<\/p>\n

Wilson’s 25-yard touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth at the end of the third quarter was a reminder of his enduring quality, scrambling out of the pocket and finding his receiver with a fine pass on the run.<\/p>\n

That score gave the Steelers a 34-24 lead heading into the fourth, and a 21-yard fumble recovery returned by Payton Wilson put them in firm control.<\/p>\n

Although Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw two touchdowns in the final quarter, either side of a 30-yard Chris Boswell field goal for the Steelers, Pittsburgh held on for a crucial win against their divisional rivals.<\/p>\n

The Steelers lead the AFC North on 9-3 with the Baltimore Ravens second on 8-5.<\/p>\n

Sam Darnold threw a game-winning touchdown in the final minutes as the Minnesota Vikings fought back to beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-22 for their fifth straight win.<\/p>\n

The Vikings sit on 10-2 for the season but are in second place in the highly competitive NFC North, which is led by 11-1 Detroit with Green Bay on 9-3.<\/p>\n

The Vikings trailed 22-16 with 1:13 left when Darnold found Aaron Jones to his right and the running back dashed into the end zone for a 5-yard score.<\/p>\n

It was the first time that the Vikings had been ahead in the game, in which Darnold threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

– Barkley’s burst –<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Eagles broke out of a tight encounter with the Baltimore Ravens to record their 10th win of the season when star running back Saquon Barkley burst for a 25-yard rushing touchdown to put his team 21-12 up mid-way through the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

A 35-yard Jake Elliott field goal extended the lead to 12 points and although Lamar Jackson found Isaiah Likely with an 11-yard touchdown pass in the final seconds it was too late for a Ravens comeback as the Eagles won 24-19.<\/p>\n

Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker’s woes were evident again as he missed two field goals and an extra point.<\/p>\n

Barkley, enjoying an outstanding year after being traded by the New York Giants, put up 107 yards on 23 carries.<\/p>\n

Geno Smith returned to haunt the New York Jets as he led the Seahawks to a 26-21 victory, clinched by Zach Charbonnet’s 8-yard rushing score in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Former Jet Smith threw for 206 yards and a touchdown while opposite number Aaron Rodgers threw for 185 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Jayden Daniels threw three touchdowns and ran in another as the Washington Commanders crushed the Tennessee Titans 42-19.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) handed Atlanta their third straight loss with a 17-13 win with Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing four interceptions.<\/p>\n
