Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen produced an historic six-touchdown performance, but it was not enough to stop the Los Angeles Rams from clinching a wild 44-42 victory on Sunday as the NFL playoff picture became clearer.

Allen became the first player in history to rush for three touchdowns and throw for three more in the same game in a jaw-dropping instant classic at the Rams' SoFi Stadium.

But a shaky Bills defensive effort ultimately meant Allen's heroics were in vain, as the Rams reignited their hopes of a playoff berth by improving to 7-6 for the season.
