The Buffalo Bills dominated the New York Jets from start to finish, putting the game away in the second half. It was effectively a shutout until the backups entered the game and allowed a pair of late touchdowns.

In doing so, the Bills have locked up the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, and can afford to rest their starters and Week 18. With yet another absurd performance that saw quarterback Josh Allen make absurd plays and cement himself further into the history books, both for the Bills and for the NFL.

Josh Allen became the first player in NFL history to have five straight seasons with 40+ touchdowns, and tied legendary running back Thurman Thomas for the franchise record with his 65th career rushing touchdown.

It's just getting ridiculous at this point. Seemingly every week, Allen is doing something that has never been done in the NFL. I'm running out of adjectives to describe what Allen is as a player. 

The Bills entered this season with low expectations from all the voices outside the building, with the oddsmakers saying they would finish third in the division after trading away wide receiver Stefon Diggs

All Allen has done with only one returning wide receiver that has ever caught a pass from him in Khalil Shakir is post yet another outstanding season, leading the Bills with monster wins over the Chiefs and the Lions, and on their way to a home playoff game on Wild Card Weekend. Hopefully for Bills fans, Allen can finally deliver this franchise the long-awaited Lombardi Trophy that they so desperately desire.
