Even the snowstorm could record quarterback Josh Allen didn’t stop: Thanks to their once again outstanding playmaker, they pulled ahead Buffalo Bills into the NFL play-off quarterfinals – a day late due to the chaos in the US state of New York.
The spectators still had to fight their way through the snow in the stands when Allen and Co. were on the painstakingly cleared pitch Pittsburgh Steelers defeated 31:17 in the wild card round.
Josh Allen the match winner again
In temperatures around minus eight degrees, quarterback Allen was once again the match winner with four touchdowns: three times his passes led to points, and he also ran 52 yards into the end zone. The 27-year-old extended his NFL record: For the twelfth time this season, he recorded at least one touchdown through the air and on the ground.
The game was postponed a day because of the snowstorm. In the next round there will be a duel between the star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. “It will take a strong team performance”said Allen.
Out for the Philadelphia Eagles
Last year’s finalist Philadelphia Eagles however, has already been eliminated. Both Tampa Bay BuccaneersThe runner-up lost 9:32 and thus continued their decline after a strong start to the season.
Last season’s Super Bowl participant started the season with ten wins from eleven games – and has now lost six of the last seven games.
Nothing worked for Philadelphia, not even the quarterback’s otherwise unstoppable short-range play Jalen Hurts is pushed forward by his teammates.
