Buffalo Rumblings
Another week, another Josh Allen NFL record. Well that isn’t exactly accurate. He set a few NFL records on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Josh Allen is the best scoring quarterback in NFL history.
On Sunday, Josh Allen scored his 290th NFL touchdown, passing Peyton Manning (288) for the most total touchdowns by a player before age 30. Allen turns 30 this offseason, so he still has plenty of games to extend that lead.
When Allen completed his third touchdown pass on Sunday, he passed future Hall of Famers Tom Brady and Drew Brees in NFL games with 3+ touchdown passes and 1+ rushing touchdowns. Brady and Brees had 10 while Allen now has 11. He’s going to keep putting distance between himself and the field, too.
On Sunday, Josh Allen collected his 75th rushing touchdown. That ties Cam New for the most in regular season history. Allen already held the combined regular season plus postseason record. Allen has the regular season record in 121 games compared to Newton’s 148. Newton also had 300 or so more rushing attempts than Allen.
Jalen Hurts has 60 rushing touchdowns in the regular season with Steve Young and Otto Graham at 43. Bills QB Jack Kemp had 40.
Allen trails Lamar Jackson for most rushing yards by a QB by about 2000 yards.
A few NFL players have accounted for six total touchdowns in an NFL game. Only one player has ever scored three passing touchdowns AND three rushing touchdowns in the same game and his name is Josh Allen. Allen did it on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he also did it in the Bills’ 2024 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
