          ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills extended their lead over the Baltimore Ravens with quarterback Josh Allen's second rushing touchdown of the day, which put the Bills up 21-10 just before halftime.

          The 4-yard score was aided by center Connor McGovern, who helped push Allen into the end zone as Ravens defenders tried to bring him down. The score came at the end of a nine-play, 70-yard drive that left less than 20 seconds on the clock for Baltimore's offense.

          Earlier, the Bills had taken a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter on a 1-yard Allen rushing touchdown on a tush push play.

          Allen now has seven career rushing touchdowns in the playoffs, tying Tom Brady for the second-most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL playoff history after Steve Young (8). He tied Thurman Thomas for the most playoff games with multiple rushing touchdowns in Bills history, and also now has his seventh rushing touchdown of the season when utilizing the push sneak.

          This is the first time the Ravens have allowed three rushing touchdowns in the first half since 2006 and just the third time in franchise history the Ravens have allowed three rushing touchdowns in the first half of a game.
