To usher in what would become a dominant inning, the Bills’ offense looked sharp, going 63 yards over eight innings and finishing with a 7 meter touchdown pass from Allen to the wide receiver. Isaiah McKenzie to place an invoice to 17-10.

McKenzie quickly opened the scoring and Allen found him for a quick attack straight into the bottom area. The touchdown pass was out of Allen’s hand after 1.63 seconds, his second fastest pass in a single touch in the past two seasons.

The Bills continued the trend of no bets in the game deep into the third quarter.

Allen didn’t mistakenly throw in the driveway but had an impressive eight-yard run that ended with a tough arm sure of the Rams’ safety Nick Scott.

To start the game, Allen completed the perfect first drive with a 26-yard touchdown pass to the wide receiver. Gabe Davis.

In third and 1 from the Rams’ 26-yard line, Allen, on the run, noticed Davis widening the box after he scrambled outside the pocket to give Davis time to get off the field. It was the first time the Bills had scored in their first drive of the season since 2011 at the Chiefs (Ryan Fitzpatrick passed to Scott Chandler).

The midfielder was the perfect opener of the game, completing all five of his passes in 58 yards, including the opener. His best five finishes without a single finish on an opening move in his career. He also completed his first five on the opening tour of 2020 in Week 16 against the Patriots.

He connects to four different receivers on the drive.
