Bills just made a crazy TD…

Hook-&-ladder (as in lateral) back to Allen as second part of the Hook-&-ladder...
But it wasn’t planned. Allen, at about the seven yd line, threw a short pass to the left just over the line of scrimmage to a running back. Allen was standing there watching as a defender trued to get him down but couldn’t.

So the back suddenly laterals it back go Allen……keep in mind in a blizzard with six inches of snow on the ground….and Allen catches it then stumbles to the corner of the end zone.

Semantics, but Allen was not standing there, he followed the play perhaps because Cooper was stymied after a ridiculous catch and being pushed back. It was not planned but Allen indicated he followed the play.

He then ran and dove, not stumbled. Allen dives a lot.

QBs often follow such a play because of the possibility of a fumble, not expecting a lateral, especially in that weather.

Stumble vs dive…… now that is semantics!!
 
I thought there should have been a whistle for forward progress stopped on the RB.
