ATLANTA — Former BYU running back Tyler Allgeier showed Bills safety Taylor Rapp what a power back looks like as he trucked his way into the end zone in week six.
The opening Monday Night Football score gave Allgeier his third touchdown of the season.

Atlanta opened its first drive with two passes and two Bijan Robinson rushes before handing it off to Allgeier.
The former Cougar found pay dirt from 21 yards out to make it 7-0.
With three touchdowns through six weeks, Allgeier is in a prime position to demolish his career high of four rushing TDs in a season. With one receiving touchdown in that season, he could also easily break his career-high of five total TDs in a season.
