Mahomes vs. Allen live drama caps wild NFL results today – QB fireworks
02.02.2026 - 13:56:38
Touchdown! As of today, 2026-02-02, the gridiron is on fire... You wanted NFL results today and the league absolutely delivered. High?octane offenses, defenses bending but not always breaking, and quarterbacks launching statement games with the playoffs looming on the horizon.
The headliner: a prime?time showdown where Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen turned the field into their personal launch pad. Think video?game numbers, fourth?quarter chaos, and a finish that's already hijacking every NFL scores live feed on your phone.
The first half felt like a heavyweight sparring session. Mahomes kept finding Travis Kelce on option routes and crossers, including a crucial 3rd?and?12 laser that kept an early touchdown drive alive. Allen matched it by feeding Stefon Diggs on back?shoulder fades and deep overs, ripping off a 9?play, 78?yard touchdown march that tied the game heading into halftime.
The real chaos hit in the fourth quarter. With the Bills trailing by 6, Allen led an 11?play drive capped by a bulldozing QB keeper from the 5, dragging a linebacker into the end zone to give Buffalo a 1?point lead. Arrowhead went quiet for about four seconds.
Then Mahomes did Mahomes things. On 4th?and?4 near midfield, he escaped a free rusher, rolled left, and somehow squared his shoulders to launch a 32?yard dart to Rashee Rice on the sideline. That play flipped the entire night. Two snaps later, he dropped a rainbow into the back corner of the end zone for a go?ahead touchdown. Classic.
Allen still had a shot. Down 5 with under a minute left, he marched the Bills into fringe red?zone territory, helped by a defensive pass interference and a scramble that moved the chains on 3rd?and?10. But with 12 seconds left, trying to force a hero ball into the end zone, he got picked off by a lurking safety sitting in the middle of the field. Ball game. Kansas City walks out with the statement win and a massive bump in the playoff picture while Buffalo is left staring at another what?if.
Lamar Jackson’s dual?threat clinic: In Baltimore, Lamar Jackson put on a highlight reel against a physical defense. He racked up around 260 passing yards, 2 passing TDs, plus another 80 on the ground with a rushing score. Classic Lamar: extending plays, spinning out of sacks, and smashing angles in the open field. One third?and?long scramble where he reversed field twice before hitting Mark Andrews over the middle felt like a live?action glitch. The Ravens’ offense looked balanced and mean, and Jackson absolutely played at MVP?level tempo all night.
Joe Burrow grinding through a defensive battle: Joe Burrow’s Bengals didn't hang a monster number on the scoreboard, but he was composed in a tight, defense?heavy slugfest. Burrow finished with around 245 passing yards, 1 TD, and 0 picks, repeatedly converting 3rd?and?medium with crisp outs and digs. Ja'Marr Chase was quiet by his standards but still came up clutch on a sideline toe?tap to set up a late field goal that iced it. Not fireworks, but it was a "get your team home" performance from Burrow in a game where every drive felt like a root canal.
Jefferson back in full supernova mode: Over in the NFC, Justin Jefferson reminded everyone why he’s a cheat code at wide receiver. He roasted single coverage all afternoon, piling up around 140 yards and a touchdown on double?digit targets. His score came on a 3rd?and?9 go route where he stacked the corner off the line, looked back late, and still dragged both feet at full speed. His QB leaned on him all day, and Jefferson delivered like a true WR1 alpha, shaking up the defensive game plan series after series.
Lamar's Ravens keep punching their ticket toward a top AFC seed, while Burrow’s steady hand keeps Cincinnati in the thick of the wild?card/Super Bowl dark?horse conversation. In the NFC, Jefferson’s monster outing boosts his team’s push to stay locked into a playoff slot instead of sweating tiebreakers in Week 18.
X (Twitter) is absolutely flooded with replay clips of that final Allen interception and Mahomes’ absurd 4th?and?4 escape drill. Chiefs fans are spamming rings and "never in doubt" takes, Bills fans are reliving déjà vu heartbreak, and neutral fans are just saving angles of Mahomes dodging bodies in the pocket like it's a choreographed dance.
For Buffalo, this is the kind of loss that lingers. Allen was incredible for most of the night — the arm talent, the power runs, the fire. But big?time quarterbacks are always judged on those last few throws, and that end?zone pick is going to dominate the talk shows and the timelines. He's still absolutely an elite QB, but this one feeds the narrative that Mahomes keeps getting the last laugh when it matters most.
Lamar looks like he’s playing the most balanced ball of his career, and if the supporting cast keeps its form, that's a Super Bowl?level formula. Burrow, meanwhile, is quietly re?establishing that "don't bet against me in January" persona. Add Jefferson detonating again and you can feel award voters and defensive coordinators both taking notes tonight.
If you're trying to figure out who's actually on a Super Bowl trajectory and who's just loud on social, the standings and tiebreakers tell the real truth.
