    "This is incredible. He feels the pressure and steps up. That little stutter he does – this guy is next level," - Phoebe Shecter, former Buffalo Bills coach, on Sky Sports

    "He is the best athlete on the field at times. He’s impossible to tackle at times" - Jason Bell, former NFL cornerback, on Sky Sports

  2. Allen's 'the definition of a game-wrecker'published at 22:37 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-21 Buffalo Bills

    Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo: "The way Josh Allen's been playing lately, that's why it's so difficult to come in here and get a win. He hasn't even given the Steelers a chance of getting a turnover.

    "And that run was unbelievable - 52 yards, and you can see the extra burst. He's the definition of a game-wrecker."

    Touchdown - Billspublished at 22:36 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-21 Buffalo Bills

    Incredible! Josh Allen has just scored one of the best touchdowns you'll ever see!

    Allen finds the gap and takes off up the middle, slows up when he gets the first down, but then decides to go again, breaks a tackle, then turns on the gas and powers away for an amazing 52-yard scoring run.

    That's the second-longest touchdown run by a QB in play-off history.

  4. 'Just punch it in'published at 22:32 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    "That hurts. You’re right on the goalline, just punch it in” - Ndamukong Suh, 2021 Super Bowl winner, on Sky Sports

    "Why wouldn’t you keep running the ball. That’s what got you down there. We talked about how Mason Rudolph is aggressive and that’s great – but not on the goalline" - Jason Bell, former NFL cornerback, on Sky Sports

    The Steelers try a run up the gut first time, then Mason Rudolph throws to Diontae Johnson but, wait, it's picked off!

    And it's the revenge of Kaiir Elam, who has had a tough couple of plays but he dives on the ball this time to grab the interception.

    After a 10-play drive, right the way down to the goal line, Pittsburgh come up empty handed. That's a hammer blow.

  7. Flag on the playpublished at 22:28 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    Kaiir Elam is flagged for Buffalo for pulling back Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson - that's about as clear a penalty as you'll see, and it gives Pittsburgh the ball on the three-yard line.

    Great work from Mason Rudolph to escape another sack then lob the ball to Pat Freiermuth, who just runs over the defender to grab a first down.

  9. Sackpublished at 22:25 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    Greg Rousseau comes bursting through for the Bills and he grabs Mason Rudolph and tackles him to the ground for the first sack of the game - an 11-yard loss for Pittsburgh.

  10. End of the first quarterpublished at 22:23 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    Buffalo make a slice of history with two tight ends catching TD passes in the first quarter of a play-off game, and they've been well on top throughout.

    Work to do for Pittsburgh.

  11. Call Stands!published at 22:23 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    That's a lucky break for Pittsburgh, who really need to work on their ball security.

    Pat Freiermuth gets the 33-yard gain credited to him but Mike Tomlin will be reminding him, and the rest of his offence, to keep tighter hold of that football!

  12. Turnover?published at 22:23 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    Pat Freiermuth takes a nice catch and runs down the sideline, then fumbles the ball and Buffalo say they've recovered it in bounds.

    The refs disagree but Sean McDermott is having none of it and challenges again...

    Make a stop says Mike Tomlin to his defence, and they do just that and force the punt. It's a much better kick from Buffalo who pin Pittsburgh back inside their own 10.

  15. That's ugly!published at 22:11 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    It's not going well for Pittsburgh right now as they're forced to kick it away again, and with just a 30-yard punt from Pressley Harvin the Bills will have it back on their own 44.

    It's looking tough already for the visitors.

  16. 'Football 101'published at 22:08 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    "This is football 101. When you have a turnover, a situation like that, first thing you do on offence is take a shot. Because the defence is worried, they are arguing" - Jason Bell, former NFL cornerback, on Sky Sports

  17. Postpublished at 22:08 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo: "This is what separates Josh Allen. He throws a frozen rope. Wow, not many people can make that throw."

  18. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bills!published at 22:06 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-14 Buffalo Bills

    Wow! What did I say? Turnover would be massive? You bet your life it was, as Josh Allen off the very first play fires a thunderbolt over the middle to Dalton Kincaid for a 29-yard touchdown.

    It's a superb throw, high enough over the defender but with enough juice on it to get their quickly, and the catch looks a lot easier than it was coming at that speed.

    That's a double blow for Pittsburgh after the turnover, with Buffalo sticking the knife in right away.

  19. Turnover confirmed!published at 22:05 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-7 Buffalo Bills

    Well, we got that one right! It's a catch from Pickens, two feet down, then makes a football move but the ball comes loose and the Bills get it back.

    Could be massive.

  20. Fumble?published at 22:02 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-7 Buffalo Bills

    Pittsburgh's George Pickens makes a catch but the ball squirms out as he hits the ground and Buffalo recover, claiming the turnover.

    The refs rule it an incomplete pass but Bills coach Sean McDermott isn't convinced so throws the red challenge flag.

    Huge call coming up. Looks like a catch and fumble to me...
