ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Bills quarterback Josh Allen hadn't thrown three interceptions in a game since a September 2019 loss to the Patriots.
Trailing the Falcons by one at halftime, he threw number three to start the third quarter in Orchard Park.
In the end, though, he helped the Bills win with his legs, running 15 times for 81 yards and two touchdowns in Buffalo's 29-15 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
With the win, combined with a loss by the Baltimore Ravens, the Bills have clinched a berth in the AFC playoffs. Next week's game will determine whether the Bills will go in as AFC East champions or as a wild card.
Allen and the Bills righted the ship with scoring drives of 80 and 65 yards to retake a two-touchdown lead in the fourth quarter.
Running back Devin Singletary ran 4 and 6 yards for each of the scores. It was the first multi-touchdown game of his NFL career.
Singletary finished with 110 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries on a day when the Bills passed for only 120 yards.
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had rushed for an apparent touchdown but was ruled short of the goal line on review. He was also flagged for taunting. Atlanta wound up turning the ball over on downs with 5 minutes, 42 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Allen threw a pair of interceptions that allowed the Falcons to rally from a nine-point deficit to lead 15-14 at the half on Sunday afternoon.
Leading 14-5, the Bills faced a third-and-8 at the Atlanta 10-yard line. Allen rolled right under pressure and had his pass deflected and then intercepted by Duron Harmon in the end zone.
Matt Ryan drove the Falcons 80 yards in five plays with Mike Davis capping the drive on a 1-yard touchdown run.
Allen was then picked off on the ensuing drive by A.J. Terrell on a ball intended for Cole Beasley.
The Falcons were able to add a field goal and take a 15-14 lead at halftime.
Marquez Stevenson fumbled a punt after Atlanta's opening drive that resulted in a safety, but after that Josh Allen led touchdown drives of 69 and 18 yards.
The second scoring drive was set up by Greg Rousseau's sack and forced fumble of Ryan. Harrison Phillips recovered the fumble that gave Buffalo a drive start at the Atlanta 18.
Allen finished the half 8-of-20 passing for 88 yards and two interceptions. He rushed for two touchdowns.
Matt Ryan was 8-of-14 passing for 142 yards for Atlanta.
