Josh Allen Makes NFL History with Unique Passing and Receiving Touchdown in Snowy Bills Victory
In an unforgettable moment during a snowy game in Orchard Park, Josh Allen made NFL history in a play that left fans and commentators in awe. The Buffalo Bills quarterback became just the fourth player in NFL history to record both a passing and receiving touchdown on the same play. This incredible feat occurred midway through the third quarter as the Bills extended their lead to 28-10 over the San Francisco 49ers on December 1, 2024.

The play started with Allen throwing a short pass to wide receiver Amari Cooper on the left side of the field. As Cooper was surrounded by three 49ers defenders and about to be tackled, he made a quick decision: instead of going down, he lateraled the ball back to Allen. With a swift move, Allen darted to his left, dodged the 49ers defense, and dove toward the pylon to score a 7-yard touchdown. The play was truly unique, as Cooper was credited with a -2-yard pass for the lateral, while Allen was credited for 7 receiving yards and the touchdown. In the official box score, Allen registered zero targets and zero receptions, yet he scored a touchdown in what will go down as one of the most bizarre yet memorable plays in NFL history.
This exceptional touchdown made Allen the first player since Marcus Mariota in 2017 to achieve such a feat. The Bills' offense had been unstoppable throughout the game, and this innovative play only added to the excitement. While the 49ers were able to answer with a 15-yard run from Isaac Guerendo on their following possession, they couldn't close the gap. Buffalo's defense held firm, and the Bills maintained their 28-10 lead late into the third quarter.
As the game went on, Josh Allen's ability to make plays with both his arm and legs continued to impress. This moment, though, was a true testament to his versatility and the fun, unpredictable nature of the NFL. It was a play that will surely be replayed countless times as part of the 2024 season's highlight reel. For the Bills and their fans, it was just another reason to celebrate the magic of football on a snowy Sunday night in Buffalo.
