Josh Allen threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Buffalo Bills over Tampa Bay 24-18 in an NFL game on Thursday.

Allen completed 31-of-40 passes for 324 yards and ran seven times for 41 yards as the Bills improved to 5-3 while the Buccaneers fell to 3-4.

After throwing an interception that set up a tying touchdown for Tampa Bay in the second quarter, Allen answered by driving the Bills 75 yards in nine plays, restoring their lead on a 22-yard touchdown pass to Dalton Kincaid to put Buffalo ahead 17-10 at halftime.

Allen threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Davis in the third quarter as Buffalo stretched the lead to 24-10.

The Bucs rallied, marching 92 yards in 17 plays ending on Baker Mayfield’s 24-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans and a Mayfield 2-point conversion pass to Cade Otton to lift Tampa Bay within the final margin.

Buffalo took a 3-0 lead on a 37-yard Tyler Bass field goal in the first quarter and Allen followed with a 13-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter as the Bills jumped ahead 10-0.

Chas McLaughlin kicked a 57-yard field goal to put the Bucs on the scoreboard and William Gholston intercepted an Allen pass at the Buffalo 23-yard line to set up Mayfield’s 3-yard touchdown toss to Chris Godwin as Tampa Bay pulled level 10-10.
