Allen’s do-it-all reputation was furthered with a historic, stat-stuffing outing in primetime.
The Bills’ superstar quarterback finished the game with 148 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions on 13/17 passing. The dual-threat signal caller also notched 18 yards and one touchdown on the ground.
Allen’s stat line also included a very unique aberration: at seven-yard receiving touchdown.
Allen was credited for both a passing and receiving touchdown on a wild play in the third quarter. After hitting wide receiver Amari Cooper on a short screen pass in the redzone, Allen got the ball back on a lateral and dove for the pylon.
With this incredible play, Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to record a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game.
The Bills shared this historic achievement with a post on social media.
“He’s not human,” the team wrote on X.
Allen is a leading candidate for the 2024 NFL MVP trophy. Through 12 games, the two-time Pro Bowler has thrown for 2,691 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also has 334 yards and six touchdowns in the rushing game.
With Sunday night’s win over the 49ers, Allen and the Bills extended their season record to 10-2 — securing first place in the AFC East.
The Bills will look to continue their impressive campaign in a Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday.
