Bills' Josh Allen on game-winning drive to squeak by Chargers: Just trusted our guys to 'go make big plays'

It wasn't pretty, but the Bills will take it.

A turnover-filled performance against the Chargers made for a nerve-racking night for Bills fans, but Josh Allen stepped up when it mattered most, leading the Bills on a 13-play, 64-yard drive late in the fourth quarter to set up Tyler Bass' game-winning field goal.

"Just trusted our guys (to) go make big plays," Allen said of the game-winning drive, via NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti. "Stefon Diggs on third down making some big conversions, Tyler Bass kicking a field goal in the end and then Ed Oliver with the sack to end it, essentially. So, just trusting our guys to make plays, and we did tonight."

Allen was locked in on the final drive, completing four of five pass attempts and coming up clutch on two throws on third down with the game on the line. The first was an 11-yard laser to Diggs to get the Bills within FG range, and the second was a heady toss to Khalil Shakir as he was faced with an all-out blitz. The completion to Shakir, which was initially ruled a touchdown but called back after a booth review, made it a chip shot for Bass and allowed the Bills to run the clock.

"They went zero there," Allen said. "My hot route, James Cook, was covered -- Derwin James was right in the window -- just trying to extend. Khalil, he's a guy that just does his job -- he's never not where he's supposed to be. He finds himself in good positions because he's so smart and does everything right. I'm fortunate to find him there."

Allen's final drive of the night made up for a mediocre performance from the Bills' offense that saw three giveaways. The Bills' star quarterback was to blame for one in the third quarter, an underthrown pick intended for Diggs, which aided the Chargers' comeback
