BILLS QUARTERBACK Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns and ran for three in the Bills' victory.

After a few clunkers, the Buffalo Bills’ star quarterback led his team to a season high in points in Sunday’s 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — and afterward, Allen refused to fall into the trap of riding emotional peaks and valleys.

“Starting off 4-0 and we're the best team in the world. And we lose two in a row and now we're the worst team in the world,” Allen said. “We don’t want to ride that. We want to stay here, stay consistent.”

Either way, Allen brought the Bills’ offense out of a monthlong slump, overcame what he called a “boneheaded” interception on his second snap, and added another extraordinary stat line to a career full of them.

The reigning MVP did it this time with a retooled receiving group that featured Gabe Davis and Mecole Hardman making their season debuts. And Allen outdueled fellow 2018 first-round draft pick Baker Mayfield in a back-and-forth game that featured nine lead changes.
