Josh Allen on the Brink of NFL History as Bills Prepare for Browns Showdown
Josh Allen is knocking on the door of NFL history-and he might just kick it down this week.
When the Buffalo Bills take the field against the Cleveland Browns, Allen will be suiting up for his 126th career game. And with just one more total touchdown-passing or rushing-he’ll become the fastest player in league history to reach 300 career touchdowns. That’s right: faster than Rodgers, faster than Manning, faster than Marino.
Let that sink in.
Aaron Rodgers currently holds the record, hitting the 300-touchdown milestone in 134 games. Allen is on track to do it in eight fewer.
That’s not just fast-it’s unprecedented. If he pulls it off, he’ll be the 19th player in NFL history to hit the 300 mark in total offensive touchdowns, and the first to do it before turning 30.
For context, only two quarterbacks-Peyton Manning and Dan Marino-have reached 300 before age 32. Allen is rewriting the timeline.
And he’s not just inching toward history-he’s charging at it.
Through 14 games this season, Allen has racked up 3,276 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns. Add in 535 rushing yards and a whopping 12 rushing scores, and you’re looking at one of the most complete offensive weapons in football. He’s also completing 70.0% of his passes, showing just how efficient he’s been even while carrying a massive load for Buffalo’s offense.
The Bills, now sitting at 10-4, are in the thick of the playoff race, and Allen has been at the heart of their late-season surge. Buffalo has three comeback wins this year, and in each of them, Allen was the catalyst. Whether it’s a deep strike in crunch time or a bulldozing run on third-and-short, he’s been the guy making it happen.
And with three games left-Cleveland, Philadelphia, and the New York Jets-there’s still time to make an MVP push. Allen already took home the award last season, and if he finishes strong, he’ll be right back in that conversation.
The Browns and Jets matchups look favorable on paper, but the Eagles game looms large. Still, with Allen playing at this level, there’s no team the Bills can’t beat.
As Allen himself put it after a recent win over New England: “We’re going to continue to fight one play at a time. No matter what the score is… if we’ve got a chance and we’ve got the ball, we feel like we like our chances.”
That confidence isn’t just talk-it’s backed by results. And now, it’s backed by the chance to make history.
So when Allen steps onto the field this week, he won’t just be chasing a win. He’ll be chasing a legacy.
