For the first time in his career, Josh Allen has defeated Joe Burrow and the Buffalo Bills improve to 9-4 on the season to stay alive in the AFC playoff picture. It took until the end to get the job done, but the Bills can now celebrate their 39-34 win over a team that has had their number in recent memory.
The Bills offense put up over 400 yards and the passing attack came alive in the second half, which ultimately led to the comeback win. There are many takeaways from this game that you could talk about. Maybe it’s how the defense had two key takeaways in the 4th quarter. Maybe it’s how Josh Allen put himself in the conversation for the MVP award.
However, one factor that should not go overlooked is how great the tight end room was for this offense.
Bills showed the NFL a huge hidden secret in Week 14 win
The trio of Dawson Knox, Dalton Kincaid, and Jackson Hawes played a huge role in Buffalo’s win. Knox led the team in targets, receptions, and yards. Kincaid had 4 catches for 41 yards and 1 touchdowns (off of 5 targets). Jackson Hawes had a late 4th quarter touchdown that put the Bills ahead by two scores after being down most of the game.
According to the Buffalo Bills’ PR team, per NextGenStats, Josh Allen had a 155.6 passer rating when targeting Dalton Kincaid this season. It ranks as the highest one among all QB/receiver duos.

Entering today, Allen had a 155.6 passer rating when targeting Kincaid in 2025 (per @NextGenStats). That is the highest mark among all QB-receiver duos this season.
Buffalo’s passing attack has been inconsistent all season long, so to see this tight end room come alive in a huge scoring game shows a lot of promise moving forward for the rest of the season. With the way Joe Brady has been calling plays, the tight ends play a crucial role. When they are on, they are on and it becomes difficult for them to screw up.
