Jaguars helped the Bills tush push their way to victory
What Happened
The Bills were down four and repeatedly used the tush push on short-yardage plays, including a virtual measurement on third-and-one and multiple attempts near the goal line. On one fourth-and-inches play, a Jacksonville player helped stand Allen up in the pile, allowing his linemen to carry him close to the end zone; after a touchdown ruling was overturned and a timeout decision followed, Allen said to run the same play again and scored on the next attempt. Jacksonville had about a minute left, but a pass ended up in the opponent’s hands after a defender appeared to get a hand on it, ending a sad but “hell of a season” moment.

Click timestamps to jump to that momentBills, they're down four. It's third and
one. Don't worry, we're going to tush
push our way over the line. Did he get
over the line? Did he? Let's watch the
replay.
He's going to go a little bit to the
left and we're going to push and a back
another push and you know what? Even the
officials right away, they're like,
"Nah." We have an official timeout for a
virtual measurement. Let's go to the
virtual measurement. Let's see. DID THEY
GET IT?
>> [screaming]
>> THAT STINGS. WE'RE JUST TRUSTING this
with all our heart. Okay, well, the tush
push comes up again. It's fourth and
inches later on in the drive. This
Jaguars fan trying to get loud in looks
and in volume trying to cause a
distraction. This time, they're just
going to go right over the center. We
just need the inches. We don't need
anything more. Let's get it done. But he
stays on his feet and they carry him all
the way down into
the one. Inches or touchdown?
Huh? And this this referee's going to be
like, "Hey, man, man, man, man. Nah, I
don't think so." This is such a funny
replay. He gets propped up there
by number 28
on Jacksonville. He comes in right here
at the back of the pile to tackle and
actually ends up standing Allen up and
now his lineman can grab him and just
walk him all the way. 30 kind of gave up
on the play. Uh, he didn't realize
things were still going on. They ruled
it a touchdown which stopped the clock
and then they went and they found out it
wasn't a touchdown. So, there's a
10-second run-off and they're going to
tell the coaches like, "We got to run
the clock 10 seconds unless you want to
use a timeout." And the Bills are like,
"No." Like,
"We'd love more clock to roll after we
score. We want there to be littler time
left." They go over to the Jacksonville
coach and he's like, "Yeah, all right.
We'll take it."
"Yes. Yes. I want the timeout. Yeah.
Yeah, I called for the timeout going
like this."
And he's just like, "But uh right,
that's what I'm saying it was." Yeah,
Allen says, "Well, let's just do the
same [ __ ] thing again. We need less
yards." And they do. This time he goes
to the left, not over center again, but
just breezes on through.
When you're up against it, do the tush
push. This is the National Football
League after all and that's the best
play in the history of plays. Extra
point, it's down, it's up, it is good
and Jackson bumps his belly at it. I
don't know what that means. He's doing
that cuz he's upset. There's a minute
left on the clock in Jacksonville. No,
never mind. Never mind on that. They
could have put together a drive and it's
in the hands. I think the defender got a
hand on it and then this is sad. Just
the you know, just his eyes looking at
it land into the opponent's bread
basket. Sad times. Bummer. Damn. But
hell of a season and they should be
proud.
