Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills looked right at home on a national stage.

Allen threw for 231 yards and a touchdown, completing 12 straight passes at one point, and the defense checked the Dallas Cowboys after an opening touchdown drive Thursday in a convincing 26-15 win at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Teams going in opposite directions.

Buffalo (9-3) tightened its grip on an AFC playoff spot and moved within 1 ½ games of idle New England for first place in the East. Meanwhile, Dallas dropped to 6-6, just a half-game ahead of idle Philadelphia for first in the NFC East.

“That’s a very good team we just played,” Allen told CBS Sports after the game. “Go Bills, I don’t know what to say. It’s awesome. We’re 9-3!”

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott hit on 32 of 49 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns, but also tossed an interception and lost a fumble. He found Ventell Bryant for a 15-yard score with 4:01 left in the game, but it was too little, too late.

Cowboys stall after fast start

Prescott got the Cowboys off to a fast start, hitting tight end Jason Witten with an 8-yard scoring strike less than 4 ½ minutes into the game. But the game’s remainder belonged to a Buffalo team eager to prove to the doubters its winning record isn’t a fluke.

Allen found Beasley for a game-tying 25-yard touchdown pass with 8:01 left in the second quarter, capping an eight-play, 85-yard drive. The Bills used trickery to take the lead for good on the first play after the two-minute warning, wide receiver John Brown throwing to Devin Singletary for a 28-yard score and a 13-7 halftime lead.

Buffalo took the second half kickoff and scored on Stephen Hauschka’s 41-yard field goal that banked off the right upright, then upped the margin to 23-7 when Allen scrambled 15 yards for a touchdown with 3:37 left in the third quarter.

Hauschka’s 26-yard field goal with 8:20 remaining in the game gave the Bills a three-score lead at 26-7.
