Josh Allen took a final kneel to give the Buffalo Bills a 27-25 playoff victory, pumped his fist, and was immediately praised for his actions as the clock ran down.
Allen and the Buffalo Bills were able to hang on at home and beat the Baltimore Ravens, 27-25, to set up a meeting with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Allen and Jackson, the two top candidates for the NFL MVP award, had a memorable battle on the field, so it was only right they had an epic ending when the game was over.
As soon as the game was over, Josh Allen shared a really classy moment with Jackson, and he immediately ran over to him.
The Bills quarterback still had the football in his hands when he gave Jackson a postgame handshake and hug before celebrating with his teammates.

“I have nothing but love for Lamar,” Allen said in his postgame press conference. He’s one of the greatest to put a uniform on and play in the NFL. Honored to share the field with him.”
