Josh Allen just keeps stacking milestones-and this week, he added another one to the shelf.
The Bills quarterback has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the 18th time in his career, marking his third such honor this season. That’s rare air for any player, but especially for a quarterback who continues to redefine what it means to be a dual-threat leader in today’s NFL.
Allen earned the recognition after a standout performance in Buffalo’s win over the Bengals on Sunday. He threw for 251 yards, added nearly 80 more on the ground, and found the end zone four times. It was vintage Allen-dynamic, physical, and completely in control of the game’s tempo.
But Sunday’s showing wasn’t just about the numbers. It was a historic moment, too.
Allen recorded his 50th career game with both a passing and rushing touchdown, the most in NFL history. That stat alone speaks volumes about his versatility.
We’ve seen great passers and great runners under center, but few have blended both facets of the game quite like Allen.
With this latest award, Allen now joins Dan Marino and Ben Roethlisberger for the fifth-most AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors by a quarterback. The only names ahead of him?
Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers. That’s Hall of Fame company, and Allen’s knocking on the door.
Next up for the Bills: a road trip to Foxborough for a divisional clash with the Patriots. With Allen playing at this level, Buffalo heads into that matchup with serious momentum-and a quarterback who’s not just chasing wins, but etching his name into the record books along the way.
