Josh Allen surpasses OJ Simpson and other legends on NFL Hall of Fame rushing scorers list.

The most recent game played by Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills exemplified the quarterback’s greatness. He became the first player in league history to have 3 passing and 3 rushing touchdowns in the same game, and racked up the most fantasy football points of any quarterback in any single game, ever. And in doing so, he passed some NFL greats on the all-time rushing touchdowns list.

Allen has become the dominant quarterback that he is by being a dual threat. While he has struggled in the past with accuracy, he has one of the strongest arms in the league and has finished in the top-10 in the league in passing touchdowns in each of the last 5 seasons. He hasn’t thrown for fewer than 4,200 yards in any year since his second in the league.

No quarterback has been as much of a rushing threat over the past half-decade than Allen. He has eclipsed 400 rushing yards in each of his seven years in the league, and twice has gone over 760. His career low for rushing touchdowns was 6 back in 2021, with an average of 9 per year. Allen’s best mark in that category came just last season, when he found the end zone with his legs 15 times. This season, he already has 9 rushing scores.
After his three rushing touchdown performance this past Sunday, Josh Allen is up to 62 ground touchdowns for his career. It is the second most of any quarterback ever, and he’ll have a chance to catch Cam Newton’s total of 75 over the next season or two. Jalen Hurts currently has 8 fewer rushing scores, and no other active QB has more than 35.
