The highlight of the match came when Allen suddenly thaw up an impromptu hook-and-lateral play with Amari Cooper.
After catching a short pass, Cooper produced a shocking one-handed reception before being caught between two 49ers defenders, just instantaneously he lateraling threw the ball back to Allen, who, then raced to the end zone, diving for the pylon to secure the score.
In the post-game interview, Allen acknowledged Cooper for his sharpness and said, “It’s got to be up there. I just wish he got credited for something there, an assist or a passing touchdown.”
“I just kind of chased the ball to be there and we made eye contact. … It was dope.”

Buffalos Bills’ Dominant Win against the 49ers
This victory sealed a fifth straight AFC East title for the Bills, making Buffalo the seventh team to win its division five-plus weeks before the end of a season.
With a record of 10-2, the Bills have firmly positioned themselves as a formidable contender in the NFL standings.
Maintaining close competition with the 11-1 Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo aims to secure the AFC’s top seed.
Buffalo becomes part of an elite club of only two other teams attaining such an early division victory since the 2009 Indianapolis Colts.
Out of six teams before them, five went to the Super Bowl; only the memorable Chicago Bears from 1985 took home the title.
Achieving that success would be a part of history for the Bills.
