Allen, Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes and Matthew Stafford of the Rams all provided big passing days to highlight wild-card weekend.
The Bills became the first team ever to go an entire game without a punt, a field goal, a turnover or getting stopped on fourth down, while scoring the most points ever against a defense coached or coordinated by Bill Belichick.
Allen went 21 for 25 for 308 yards, five TDs and rushed for 66 yards, joining Kurt Warner (2009 season against Green Bay), Tom Brady (2007 season against Jacksonville), Peyton Manning (2003 season against Denver) and Daryle Lamonica (1969 season against Houston) as the only starting QBs with more TD passes than incompletions in a playoff game.

Mahomes provided his own highlights, throwing five TD passes in a 42-21 win over Pittsburgh to join Lamonica and Kurt Warner as the only QBs ever to throw at least five touchdown passes in two playoff games.
Mahomes' throws came in a span of just 11:31 of game time, the fastest anyone has thrown that many touchdowns in playoff history, according to the Elias Sports
