Next Gen Stats: Bills' Josh Allen run against the Rams was historic

Josh Allen did a lot without passing much on Monday night. He just needed open turf to get it done. With the  Bills  passing game stuck for most of the  37-34 overtime win  over the  Los Angeles Rams , Allen kept taking off whenever the pocket broke down. According to  NFL Next Gen Stats , he picked up 107 yards on scrambles alone. Nobody has gained more that way in a game this season, and only two performances have topped it since tracking began in 2016. Then there is the bigger number. Allen now has two 100-yard scramble games in that span, and every other player in the league combined also has two. His 91 yards in the 4th quarter were also the most by a QB in a 4th quarter/overtime in 26 years. Those scrambles made up most of his  121 rushing yards , including the  back-to-back carries of 19 and 13 yards  in overtime that set up Tyler Bass for the winning kick. Not bad for a guy who was 0-7 in overtime before Monday. "When it's there, it's there," Allen said to the media after the win. "I don't want to make a living on that, I understand that, but I do know how much of a backbreaker that can be on a defense when you think you're in pretty good coverage. I felt like there was some room to maneuver there and keep the chains moving." The Bills are 4-1, and Allen's legs got them there this week. Next up, Buffalo hosts the  Las Vegas Raiders  on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 4:25 p.m. ET.
