The Buffalo Bills head to Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon with a few spots in the franchise record book within reach, and Josh Allen is at the center of more than one of them.
Allen enters Week 6 with five rushing touchdowns in five games this season, giving him a chance to extend the NFL record for consecutive games with a rushing touchdown to open a season by a quarterback. He has scored on the ground in every game so far, which makes another trip into the end zone against the Raiders feel well within range.
There’s also a bigger number on Allen’s radar if he has one of those outrageous afternoons. With 87 career rushing touchdowns, he is already the NFL’s all-time leader among quarterbacks, but on the league’s overall list he sits 16th.
Eric Dickerson and Curtis Martin are tied for 14th with 90 apiece. Three rushing touchdowns Sunday would put Allen in a three-way tie with them, and four would move him past both.
It’s a hefty ask, but Allen has shown before that it’s not impossible.
Dawson Knox could also make a move up the Bills’ record charts. His six receiving yards against the Rams on Monday night pushed him to 2,730 for his career, just behind James Lofton’s 2,736.
Knox needs six yards to tie Lofton and seven to move ahead into 16th place in franchise history. He also has 28 career receiving touchdowns, which leaves him tied with Gabe Davis and Stevie Johnson for seventh in team history.
Jerry Butler is next with 29, so one score would tie him and two would give Knox the spot outright.
Khalil Shakir has a shot to shuffle the receiving yardage list as well. He enters the week with 2,568 career receiving yards, good for 21st place, and the players just ahead of him are all clustered close together.
Shakir needs 64 yards to pass J.D. Hill, 73 to pass Fred Jackson, and 74 to pass Haven Moses.
He had 80 receiving yards against the Rams, so that climb is there for the taking.
Greg Rousseau is another name to watch. He opened the season with six sacks in Buffalo’s first three games, then has been stuck on 38 career sacks for two weeks, leaving him just half a sack shy of Darryl Talley on the team’s all-time list.
A sack Sunday would finally get him over that hump. If he catches fire, the bigger benchmark is his single-season high of eight sacks, set in 2022.
He’s at six now, so two against Las Vegas would tie that mark and three would set a new career best.
James Cook’s chase of Allen on the Bills’ career rushing list got a little tougher after Monday night. Cook ran for 111 yards against the Rams, but Allen finished with 121, which actually widened the gap by 10 yards. For Cook to pass Allen this week, he would need to outgain his quarterback by at least 170 rushing yards.
And then there’s Dalton Kincaid, who has a couple of record-book lanes open in the same game. He has 172 career receptions, placing him sixth among Bills tight ends.
Charles Clay sits fifth with 178, and Scott Chandler is fourth with 182. Seven catches Sunday would move Kincaid past Clay, and 11 would get him ahead of both Clay and Chandler.
He also has 1,969 career receiving yards, which leaves him 152 shy of Chandler’s 2,120 for fourth among Buffalo tight ends. Kincaid already posted a 130-yard game against Houston earlier this season, so the ceiling is there if the afternoon breaks right.
Not every item on the list is equally likely, but several are squarely in play. A few could change on a single snap. Others would take one of those games people remember for a long time.

Josh Allen Is One Run Away From Another Rare Bills Moment
Josh Allen has already carved out a place in NFL history with his legs, and the next milestone is sitting close enough to feel inevitable. The Bills quarterback owns the league record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 87, and his combination of power, patience and improvisation has made him one of the most dangerous dual threats the position has ever seen.
A meeting with the Raiders offers Allen a chance to add another rare marker to that resume, especially against a defense that has struggled to slow down runners. Buffalo has seen this before with Allen, where one productive Sunday can push him into territory occupied by only a tiny group of quarterbacks, and this matchup gives him another opportunity to keep climbing.

Keon Coleman Is Giving The Bills A Reason To Rethink His Ceiling
Keon Colemans second season in Buffalo has started to look a lot more like the kind of development the Bills hoped for when they brought him in. After a difficult 2025, the receiver has opened 2026 with improved production, and the change has lined up with Joe Brady taking over the offense. Brady has publicly backed Coleman, and the early results suggest the coaching shift has helped the young wideout settle in and play with more confidence.
Through five games, Coleman has become a more consistent part of the passing game and has already given Buffalo a reason to revisit where his ceiling really sits. ESPN analyst Seth Walder was bullish on that possibility before the season, projecting a breakout that would put Coleman well above last years totals, and Colemans current pace makes that outlook look a lot less ambitious than it did in September. The question now is whether this start is the beginning of a true leap, or just the first stretch of a longer climb. [Read more 🡒]
Former Bills Starter Faces Buffalo With Plenty To Prove
Taron Johnsons return to Buffalo comes with a little more edge than the usual reunion. The cornerback, drafted by the Bills in 2018, spent years carving out a meaningful role in Buffalo and left behind a highlight reel that still stands out, especially that 101-yard interception return in the 2021 playoffs.
Now with the Raiders, Johnson is set to line up against the team that once made plans to move on from him before the offseason trade sent him to Las Vegas. He has settled into a new uniform and a new defense, and this matchup offers a familiar backdrop with a personal incentive attached, since a takeaway against his former team would also give him a first that has yet to arrive in silver and black.
