The veteran reached a franchise milestone against the Patriots on Sunday, becoming the Bills' all-time touchdown leader at his position.

Five consecutive touchdown drives, including three scoring throws from Allen, resulted in 35 points and the edge over the Patriots. Last week the Bills overcame a 10-point deficit against the Cincinnati Bengals to secure a victory. This was a total collapse by the New England defense.
