Allen certainly had more spirit as the Bills defeated the 49ers 35-10. Buffalo also captured the AFC East division for the fifth straight season.

The superstar quarterback got into the scoring column before halftime with a seven-yard pass to wide receiver Mack Hollins. Buffalo had a 21-3 lead going into the locker room, but was far from done.

Allen was credited with a receiving touchdown in the third quarter after Amari Cooper later returned Allen’s pass to the quarter, who then ran in for a score. Allen officially had zero catches, but seven receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.

To cap off the night, Allen ran for an 8-yard score in the fourth quarter, putting the game completely out of reach. Mitchell Trubisky took over from there.

Allen became the NFL quarterback to throw for a touchdown, run for a touchdown and catch a touchdown in one game since the merger, the team said.

He had 148 passing yards on 13 completions and also has 18 rushing yards.

Bills running backs James Cook and Ray Davis could also join the board. Cook had a 65-yard touchdown run, while Davis had a 5-yard touchdown scamper. Cook had 107 rushing yards and Davis had 59 on the night.

The 49ers had no answer to the question Bills offense all night. Players didn’t seem to get any feel for the snow conditions as they slid and slid across the surface.

San Francisco’s best hope was to give Christian McCaffrey every opportunity possible. But the running back suffered a knee injury in the first half and never returned.

Brock Purdy passed less than 100 yards. He was 11 of 18 with 94 passing yards. He was fired twice. Isaac Guerendo scored San Francisco’s lone touchdown.
