I'll be taking solace in that Bills win though. Wow.

In the immortal words of Alaina Getzenberg at espn.com:

Since 2000, teams have won only three of 2,315 games when trailing by 15-plus points in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter.

Allen led the effort. He threw the most passing yards in any quarter in his career (251) in the fourth and became the first player with 250 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns in any quarter since at least 1978.

Enjoy having him hit double his current fantasy points total by around Week 9

Seriously though... I've been a Bills fan for over 40 years. I literally picked them based on geographic proximity... I knew zero about the NFL at that time. The early 90s... wide right... I was there. Time (and more specifically, the wisdom its passage imparts) has taught me to not get amped up about the Bills' chances at a Super Bowl. That win though... and how Allen contributed to it... imma get mildly amped up over that.

Yeap that was something. I havent seen @R_J_K75 in a few, but even he has to be believing now!

The unspoken truth behind every extraordinary comeback is that they, definitionally, must be preceded by an equally extraordinary series of catastrophic failures

That's a bit facile (although, yes, sometimes true). Occasionally, the team needing the comeback is on the business end of an extraordinary set of accomplishments by the opposing side. Henry and Lamar were monsters in this game. Were the Bills perfect up to that point? Nope. Were they awful to the point of deserving a loss? Nope. The Ravens were pretty good for most of the game.

I hear what you're saying, but this feels more like an Allen accomplishment over a Ravens squad that had a great game then him having to overcome the ineptitude of his team to gain a win.

I sound like a Bills-stan in that last post. I'm not, I promise!
