Bills’ Josh Allen scores receiving touchdown on his own pass vs. 49ers

Josh Allen didn’t catch a pass Sunday night for the Bills against the 49ers, but he will get credit for a receiving touchdown on a play when he threw the ball.

Leading 21-3 from the 49ers’ 9-yard line, Allen threw a quick screen to Amari Cooper, who appeared unready for the pass but juggled and caught it anyway. Cooper was met by a trio of 49ers — Renardo Green, Malik Mustapha and Fred Warner — and appeared stopped. But no official ruled his forward progress stopped, and he kept his eyes up to pitch the ball back to Allen, who was running toward the pile.

Allen took the ball around the corner, beating Dee Winters and Robert Beal Jr. to the left pylon with a dive to score.
