The Buffalo Bills clinched their first AFC East divisional title in 25 years on Saturday with a 48-19 victory NFL victory over the Denver Broncos.

He scrambled 24 yards up the middle for a touchdown in the first half and scampered one yard for another score in the second.

The Broncos had narrowed the deficit to 21-13 to close the first half, but the Bills responded with two touchdowns and a field goal in the third period as they turned it into a rout. The Bills had 543 yards in total offense in the third quarter, Allen accounting for 392 of them. Stefon Diggs had a big night for the Bills, catching 11 passes for 147 yards before leaving late with an injury. The Bills win officially ended the New England Patriots' 11-year reign atop the AFC East. bb/gph
