Bills 44, Buccaneers 32 | November 16, 2025 | Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, N.Y.
Josh Allen threw touchdown passes of 43, 52, and 25 yards, ran for three more scores, and became the only player in NFL history to record multiple games with at least three passing and three rushing touchdowns in the same contest. The Bills won 44–32 over Tampa Bay at Highmark Stadium on November 16, 2025, with Allen completing 19 of 30 passes for 317 yards and adding six carries for 40 yards and three rushing scores. His six-touchdown afternoon pushed his career total to 290, surpassing Peyton Manning’s 288 for the most by any player before turning 30. The third rushing score also matched Cam Newton’s NFL regular-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, at 75.
Tampa Bay had every statistical reason to compete. Sean Tucker ran 19 times for 106 yards, scored twice on the ground on runs of 43 and 6 yards, and caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield in the fourth quarter that briefly put the Buccaneers ahead 32–31 with 13:38 remaining. Mayfield finished 16-of-28 for 173 yards and one passing touchdown, but lost a fumble on Tampa Bay’s final possession. Nine lead changes separated these two teams before Allen’s offensive linemen pushed him across the goal line from 9 yards out with 2:35 left.
The win moved Buffalo to 7–3, ending a stretch that included back-to-back losses to Atlanta and New England before the bye week and a 30–13 shutout through three quarters at Miami the previous Sunday. Tampa Bay fell to 6–4 and saw its NFC South lead shrink to a half-game after Carolina beat Atlanta the same afternoon.

Tucker ran 19 times for 106 yards, caught a fourth-quarter touchdown, and scored three times — the kind of afternoon that wins games in November. At Highmark Stadium, it left Tampa Bay twelve points short.

I'm Sean L. Garcia, a Swedish-born American journalist based in Washington with over six years of experience reporting across local publications and digital media. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and have spent the better part of my career covering the full spectrum of news, from breaking world affairs and domestic politics to sports analysis, consumer technology, automotive industry developments, the business of entertainment, celebrity culture, gaming, health, and the cultural moments that define how people actually live. I launched Daily Info Magazine on April 05, 2026, because I wanted to build one publication where readers never have to go elsewhere, a destination backed by real reporting, proper sourcing, and an editorial team that takes accuracy seriously across every beat we cover. I serve as Editor-in-Chief and continue to report, write, and publish alongside our team of writers, researchers, and editors every single day.
