Rams vs. Bills thriller: Josh Allen accomplishes something he's never done before in Buffalo's OT win

The Buffalo Bills won a potential Super Bowl LXI preview on Monday night, defeatingMatthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams, 37-34, in overtime. It was a remarkable back-and-forth affair that saw both offenses put up 400+ yards of total offense, both teams score touchdowns in the final two minutes, and both clubs make mistakes in overtime This matchup proved that Bills quarterback Josh Allen is still one of the best players in the world. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while adding an incredible 121 yards rushing and another touchdown on the ground. However, the real headline is that Allen accomplished something he had never done before in his career — win in overtime. Previously, Allen was 0-7 in overtime, the worst overtime record by a quarterback in NFL history (including playoffs), according to CBS Sports Research. Allen's first overtime win is definitely one he will remember forever. The Rams won the overtime coin toss and elected to kick since both teams now receive a chance in the extra quarter. It looked like the Bills were well on their way to a touchdown to open overtime, thanks to a 57-yard gain from Khalil Shakir to get Buffalo down to the Rams' 22-yard line. But then James Cook III coughed up the ball for the second time, and it was recovered by Aaron Donald.
