During that play, Allen was running toward the sidelines and threw a brilliant pass to Davis before shaking off a defender; he almost went out of bounds but maintained his balance before throwing the ball.
On the other hand, the Patriots started the game in a brilliant fashion, as Mac Jones threw one touchdown pass to Marcus Jones in a brilliant play, as the Patriots went ahead in the game. However, after that, they struggled massively in their offense. Also, the Bills’ defense played unbelievably well to stop Belichick’s team.

Thus, he became the first player in the NFL to have 25 passing touchdowns and 5 rushing touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. The last two seasons have been pretty spectacular for Allen, as he recorded 36 and 37 touchdowns, respectively. This season, he has recorded 25 TDs already in just 11 games. With five games left in the regular season, he has a pretty good chance to beat his own record.
