1) Allen continues to join elite company
Josh Allen and the Bills came out victorious in an exciting back-and-forth scoring fest against the Buccaneers in Week 11.
The reigning MVP bounced back from two first-half interceptions to finish with three passing touchdowns and three rushing TDs, including 317 yards through the air.
Let’s climb what we’ll call the “Josh Allen Milestones Ladder.”
It was Allen’s 10th career game with at least three pass touchdowns and one rush touchdown, breaking a tie with Tom Brady and Drew Brees for the most such games all time.
Bumping it up to three pass touchdowns and two rush touchdowns, Allen broke Kordell Stewart’s record for the most such games all-time (it was Allen’s third career game meeting those criteria).
And finally, the stat line that is the essence of peak Allen: three pass touchdowns and three rush touchdowns. In the history of the NFL, there have only been three such games: Allen today against the Buccaneers, Allen in 2024 against the Rams (in a 44-42 loss) and Hall of Famer Otto Graham in the 1954 NFL Championship Game against the Lions. The Bills QB is the only player to have at least three pass touchdowns, 300 passing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a game.
As for career totals, Allen now has scored 75 times on the ground. That is tied with Cam Newton for the most rush touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history.
