Monday’s double headers in Week 13 started with the Washington Football Team upsetting the Steelers in a historic fashion. Pittsburgh fans should be worried about their struggling offense but at least T.J. Watt and that defense is still feasting on opposing offenses at record levels. The night concluded with the Bills dominant offensive performance over the 49ers, as Josh Allen continues his career year, and Buffalo ends their wild MNF losing streak.
Here are the 5 most interesting facts to know from NFL Monday Night Football in Week 13:

Josh Allen is having a career season after a roller coaster of a start the past couple years.
Josh Allen (32 for 40) is the first passer in @BuffaloBills' history to attempt 40 or more passes in a game and complete at least 80% of them. The only other player with a performance of that kind on #MNF was Matt Ryan, who was 36 for 45 in a 2013 loss to the Jets. #BillsMafia

Although the Steelers undefeated season came to an end last night, they still have hope as T.J. Watt and the defense is still playing at an elite level.
