Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen made NFL history in a snow-filled game against the San Francisco 49ers on December 2, 2024. Allen became the fourth player in NFL history to record both a passing and receiving touchdown on the same play. The play was officially scored as a seven-yard touchdown pass from Allen to himself, despite Allen recording zero receptions. During the game, Allen threw a pass to wide receiver Amari Cooper, who then lateraled the ball back to Allen. Allen caught the lateral and ran it into the end zone for a touchdown. This remarkable play contributed to the Bills' commanding lead, with the score reaching 28-10. The last player to achieve this feat was Marcus Mariota in the 2017 playoffs. The game, held in Orchard Park amid snowy conditions, showcased Allen's exceptional performance, bolstering his MVP candidacy.
