During Sunday’s snowy Week 14 home game against the Cincinnati Bengals, reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen put the Buffalo Bills on his back and — with some help from two timely interceptions — carried the Bills to a win in a game they needed to have to keep pace in a crowded AFC playoff picture.
Allen posted his 11th career game with three-plus passing touchdowns and at least one rushing touchdown, which is the most in the storied history of the NFL, as Buffalo stormed past Cincinnati 39-34 to improve to 9-4
on the year.
For his Superman-like efforts, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with the news that, for the 18th time in his distinguished Bills career, Allen brought home the AFC’s Offensive Player of the Week honors .
Josh Allen named AFC Offensive Player of the Week
In leading the Bills to a scintillating, come-from-behind win over the Bengals, all Allen did was pass for three touchdowns (two on fourth-down plays), scamper 40 yards for a TD with his longest regular-season run of his career, and direct a Bills offense that stormed back with 21 points scored during a 4:30 span of the fourth quarter.
Allen finished the day completing 22-of-28 passes for 251 yards with those three TDs and no interceptions, and he added 78 rushing yards on nine carries in the win to earn his third weekly AFC honor this year, and 18th of his Buffalo career.

Bills relatively healthy on Week 15’s first injury report
On their first injury report heading into a pivotal road clash with the New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills only listed seven players on the list, with the only non-participant, tight end Dawson Knox, missing Wednesday’s walk-through for personal reasons.
Four players who sat out Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals — linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow), defensive end Joey Bosa (hamstring), right tackle Spencer Brown (shoulder), and wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) — were all limited practice participants, while tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee/hamstring) and safety Cole Bishop (cramps) were full participants.
