The 44-yard touchdown helped Buffalo tie the game at seven apiece. It was his 11th touchdown of the season and his 13th touchdown overall. He entered the game with over 1,400 rushing yards to his name. He was just a few feet behind NFL leader Jonathan Taylor for first place.
The touchdown was a big response after the Browns started the game with a touchdown.

Buffalo needed a win to keep pace with the New England Patriots for the AFC East title. The Bills surprised the Patriots last week, winning the game after a 21-point comeback.
