The Buffalo Bills were having a tough time of it against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first half, but a defensive turnaround to begin the second half kick-started Sean McDermott's team.

Josh Allen led a 16-play, 83-yard drive that took over eight minutes off the clock and ended with a touchdown scored by Allen himself.
And it was a monumental touchdown at that.
Why? Because it was Allen's 76th rushing touchdown of his career, and that's significant because it moved him past Cam Newton for the most rushing touchdowns in NFL history by a quarterback.
And with the score, the Bills moved out to a 23-7 lead and have the game in hand.

The first half was nearly as bad as it gets for the Bills, but thanks to Joey Bosa's strip sack on Aaron Rodgers on the first play of the second half, which Christian Benford returned for a touchdown, then Keon Coleman hauled in a touchdown from Allen after a Mason Rudolph interception, and Buffalo was rolling.
Then Allen and Co. marched all the way down the field to nearly put the game beyond doubt at 23-7.
Sometimes games are a classic tale of two halves, and that's what we have here.
Except in the second half in Pittsburgh, Allen created NFL history in the process.
