The Buffalo Bills haven’t exactly cruised through the 2025 season, but with two weeks left, they’re still in control of their playoff destiny. A win over the Cleveland Browns this Sunday - plus a little help elsewhere in the AFC - could punch their ticket to the postseason. And at the heart of it all, as always, is Josh Allen.
Allen has been nothing short of electric over the past three weeks, putting the team on his back with the kind of performances that remind you why he’s one of the league’s most dangerous weapons. His MVP case is gaining steam, even if the sportsbooks haven’t quite caught up.
Despite his recent surge, Allen is still trailing names like Matthew Stafford and rookie standout Drake Maye in the odds race. But here’s the thing: Allen doesn’t need another MVP trophy to validate what he’s doing right now.
His value to Buffalo is crystal clear - and his legacy is only growing stronger.
This weekend, Allen has a chance to add another historic milestone to his already impressive résumé. One more touchdown - just one - and he’ll make NFL history.
Josh Allen is on the doorstep of becoming the fastest player ever to 300 total touchdowns
Sunday’s matchup against Cleveland marks Allen’s 126th career game. That number matters, because with one more touchdown, he’ll become the fastest player in NFL history to reach 300 total touchdowns.
The current record? Aaron Rodgers hit that mark in 134 games.
Allen is poised to beat it by eight.
Let’s break that down: Over eight seasons, Allen has accounted for 299 total touchdowns - 220 through the air, 77 on the ground, and even two as a receiver. That’s a level of production few quarterbacks in league history can match.
When he hits 300, Allen will be just the 19th player ever to reach that milestone. And he’ll be the first to do it before turning 30.
What makes this even more impressive is how consistently Allen has found the end zone. He’s only had two games this season without a touchdown - Week 2 against the Jets and Week 12 against the Texans.
Otherwise, he’s been a scoring machine. Over the last three weeks alone, Allen has racked up nine total touchdowns - seven passing, two rushing - and led the Bills to critical wins that have kept their playoff hopes alive.
The Browns’ defense isn’t exactly a brick wall, either. They rank 19th in points allowed, and Allen’s recent form suggests he’s more than capable of putting up another multi-touchdown outing. If he does, the record is his.
Legacy-building in real time
There’s a lot on the line for Buffalo this weekend. A playoff berth is within reach, and a deep postseason run is still on the table. But even if that doesn’t materialize, Allen continues to carve out a legacy that’s already putting him in rare air.
He’s not just the face of the franchise - he’s the engine, the heartbeat, and the reason the Bills are in the conversation every December. Whether or not he takes home the MVP this year, Allen is doing what the great ones do: showing up when it matters most and rewriting the record books along the way.
So when the Bills take the field against Cleveland on Sunday, keep an eye on No. 17.
One more touchdown, and he’ll officially become the fastest to 300. But more importantly, he’ll take another step toward something even bigger - cementing himself as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks this league has ever seen.
