Aside from one tiny misstep in Miami, the Bills have mostly been unassailable this season. Buffalo and Josh Allen have been thrashing and shocking just about everyone in the conference as one of the AFC’s true juggernauts. Allen and Co. had a unique way to humble the Steelers (+14) early on Sunday, with Pittsburgh on deck as the Bills’ latest victim.
But it didn’t look that way at first.
On their first offensive possession, Allen and the Bills were backed up in their own end zone on a third and long. Rather than try to keep the chains moving or take a safe play that avoids potential back-of-end chaos, Allen went for it all on a deep shot to Gabriel Davis.
It worked out … quite well. To the tune of a 98-yard touchdown (!):
98 YARDS! 🤯

Holy cow. That’s one way to get the chains moving and the ball rolling.
The wild 98-yard touchdown for Davis is the longest in the Bills’ history and the longest touchdown the Steelers have surrendered since 1966.
Oh yeah, this is a special and fun group in Buffalo.
NFL fans had their minds blown by the Bills' 98-yard touchdown
What a start!! https://t.co/pHG59qVUPr
