Overtime has not been kind to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Allen’s Bills lost in overtime 37-34 Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The Bills led 24-14 late into the third quarter but were outscored 17-7 in the fourth to force OT.
Allen nearly connected with wide receiver Gabe Davis for a touchdown that would have ended the game (video here). The Bills had to settle for a field goal instead, which led to the Eagles scoring the game-winning touchdown.
Allen went 29-for-51 for 339 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He also rushed for 81 yards on nine carries with two touchdowns on the ground.
The loss dropped Allen’s record in overtime games to 0-6.
The NFL famously altered postseason overtime rules after the Bills’ stunning OT loss to the Chiefs during the 2021 AFC Divisional round.
The Bills blew a golden opportunity to get themselves right with a win against the team with the NFL’s best record.
Instead, Buffalo fell to 6-6 after the loss to the Eagles — their fourth in the last six games.
