Longtime NFL analysts Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico took the booth for Week 13’s “Sunday Night Football,” featuring the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers. During the game, Collinsworth shared a surprising tidbit about Bills quarterback Josh Allen while calling a remarkable third-quarter play.
In a standout moment, Allen connected with wide receiver Amari Cooper near the goal line. Facing pressure from multiple 49ers defenders, Cooper lateraled the ball back to Allen, who sprinted into the end zone for a highlight-reel touchdown. Excited by the play, Collinsworth revealed that Allen is on his fantasy football roster. “It didn’t hurt me either,” Collinsworth remarked. “Josh Allen’s my fantasy quarterback. I’m not kidding—it just showed up. I got a touchdown pass and whatever the other touchdown was.”
When asked postgame about Collinsworth’s comments, Allen responded with humor: “So did I.”
Allen’s performance powered the Bills to a commanding 35-10 victory, extending their win streak to seven games and advancing their record to 10-2. The victory also clinched the AFC East title and preserved their perfect 6-0 record at Highmark Stadium.
Statistically, Allen delivered a stellar outing with two passing touchdowns, a rushing touchdown, and a receiving score. He completed 13 of 17 passes for 148 yards while adding 18 rushing yards. For fantasy football managers, Allen’s effort translated to an impressive 28.42 Points Per Reception (PPR) score.
The Bills continue their season with momentum, firmly establishing themselves as a dominant force in the AFC.
