Josh Allen of the Bills caught a touchdown pass from himself against the 49ers.

On Sunday night, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills didn't actually catch any passes against the San Francisco 49ers. However, he did manage to snag a receiving touchdown on a rather unusual play where he threw the ball instead.

The Bills were already leading 21-3 and on the 49ers' 9-yard line when Allen decided to throw a quick screen to Amari Cooper. Cooper seemed a bit caught off guard by the pass, but he managed to juggle and catch it regardless. As he ran, he was met by three 49ers players - Renardo Green, Malik Mustapha, and Fred Warner. It looked like he was going to be stopped in his tracks, but the officials didn't rule his progress as stopped. So, with his eyes on the prize, Cooper pitched the ball back to Allen who was running towards the pile.

With the ball in hand, Allen took off around the corner, beating Dee Winters and Robert Beal Jr. to the left pylon with a dive to score. It was an impressive display of athleticism from the quarterback, who became only the fourth player ever to score a receiving touchdown according to NextGenStats. This was Allen's second receiving touchdown of his career, the first being a trick pass from Isaiah McKenzie during a game against the Arizona Cardinals in 2020.

Interestingly enough, the last time a quarterback scored on his own pass was back in 2017 when Marcus Mariota of the Tennessee Titans had his pass batted up into the air, caught it, and took it into the end zone during a wild-card game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

But Allen wasn't done just yet. A few minutes later, he also managed to score a rushing touchdown just to seal the deal. It was a truly impressive performance from the quarterback, who continues to prove himself as a versatile and dynamic player on the field.
