ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- As Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen dashed and darted his way down the field, preparing to meet Pittsburgh Steelers defenders, it was interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady that was calling over the headset to his fellow coaches for Allen to slide to avoid the contact.
Others from the Bills on the field and the sideline were screaming for him to get down, per Allen, but instead, he just kept running. His legs continuing to move on third-and-7 from the Buffalo 48-yard line midway through the second quarter resulted in a 52-yard touchdown run as part of a playoff performance that reset the NFL and the Bills' record books.
