The Buffalo Bills win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day was not pretty, but a win nonetheless. With 23 seconds left in regulation and a tie score, Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw a 36-yard dart to wide receiver Stefon Diggs on his first throw of the drive which immediately put the team in field goal range.
Allen set up kicker Tyler Bass, who previously missed an extra point, to put the game away with a 45-yard field goal. While it was initially difficult to tell if the kick was good or not, the ball eked through upright and the Bills won 28-25.
Immediately following the game-winning score, the CBS broadcast panned to Allen, whose look of relief went viral on Twitter. Allen brought Diggs in for a close hug, held him close, and viewers could almost see the stress leave his body.

USA Today‘s Bradley Gelber tweeted that before the camera reached the quarterback, Allen was “screaming on the sideline before embracing his teammates. Man did he want that one.
