Josh Allen Ties Jim Kelly’s Bills TD Pass Record as Buffalo Holds Off Raiders 33-30
Allen’s improvised third-quarter touchdown pass tied Jim Kelly’s franchise mark as Buffalo overcame a late Las Vegas rally.
On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 33-30, with quarterback Josh Allen throwing two touchdowns to tie Hall of Famer Jim Kelly's franchise record of 258 TD passes.
The Raiders have now lost three consecutive games despite tight end Michael Mayer recording a career-high 95 yards and wide receiver Tre Tucker contributing two touchdown receptions.
Allen escaped a sack in the third quarter to throw a 12-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Keon Coleman, while running back James Cook scored the go-ahead 3-yard touchdown run with 4:43 remaining.
Trailing late, Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins launched a 44-yard touchdown pass to Tre Tucker, cutting the deficit to 33-30 with 92 seconds remaining, but Buffalo recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the victory.
The Bills head into a bye week before hosting Baltimore on Nov. 1, while the Raiders will host the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Josh Allen released for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and resorted to his improvisational brilliance to match the record for the Bills history record, while Buffalo resisted to beat 33-30 the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
