## Bills QB Josh Allen’s ‘Dope’ TD Pass, Catch Highlights Dominant Four-TD Evening in Win over Niners
**Buffalo, N.Y.** – In a thrilling primetime matchup between two of the NFL’s most exciting teams, the Buffalo Bills emerged victorious over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, thanks in large part to a dominant performance from quarterback Josh Allen.
Allen put together a stat line for the ages, throwing for 329 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for a fifth score. However, it was his highlight-reel touchdown pass to himself that stole the show.
### ‘Dope’ TD Pass and Catch
With just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the Bills trailing by three points, Allen found himself under heavy pressure from the 49ers defense. As he scrambled to avoid the sack, he stumbled and fell to the ground. Miraculously, Allen maintained possession of the football and, with his body parallel to the ground, flicked a pass behind his back to himself. He then rolled out of the tackle and caught the ball in stride, racing 40 yards for a touchdown that gave Buffalo the lead for good.
“It was dope,” Allen said after the game. “I was just trying to make a play and it ended up working out.”
### Dominant Four-TD Evening
Allen’s ‘dope’ TD pass was just one of four touchdowns he accounted for on the evening. He also threw touchdowns to Gabe Davis, Stefon Diggs, and James Cook, giving him a league-leading 12 touchdown passes through the first three weeks of the season.
### Background and Context
The Bills entered the game as heavy favorites, but the 49ers put up a valiant effort, especially on the defensive side of the ball. San Francisco held Allen to just 16 completions on 27 attempts, but they were unable to generate enough pressure to force a turnover.
The 49ers also made several key plays on special teams, including a blocked field goal and a 59-yard punt return touchdown by Ray-Ray McCloud. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome Allen’s brilliance and the Bills’ overall dominance.
