For anyone well-informed of both Jacksonville’s and Buffalo’s rosters, it wasn’t much of a secret that Jan. 11, 2026’s game offered the possibility of something quite unique: Josh Hines-Allen hunting down a quarterback with a quite-similar name. Although the Bills’ version would take a 27-24 victory for himself, the Jaguars’ playmaker conquered the Allen-versus-Allen head-to-head on one third quarter play, racing through a wide-open gap as if by surprise on a 2nd & 8 takedown. During a remarkable campaign that saw him become the Jags’ all-time sacks leader, Hines-Allen shined on Wild Card Weekend with a sack, two QB hits, and four tackles.
