LARAMIE — What Josh Allen accomplished Sunday in Jacksonville bordered on the extraordinary.

Including both the regular season and postseason, Allen has completed 347 of 495 passes for 3,941 yards with 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has also rushed 123 times for 612 yards and 16 touchdowns. The Bills advance to face top-seeded Denver in the Divisional Round on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
