Earlier this season, Josh Allen became the 4th player in NFL history to rush for at least six touchdowns in each of their first eight career seasons – the others being a trio of Hall of Fame running backs in Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk and LaDainian Tomlinson. He leads all quarterbacks with 10 rushing touchdowns in 2025, trailing only Jonathan Taylor and Josh Jacobs among all players, and the reigning MVP enters Week 13 staring down the top of the quarterback rushing mountain.
Allen’s 75 career rushing touchdowns are tied with Cam Newton for the most by a quarterback in the history of the league, one scamper to paydirt away from setting a new all-time mark in just his ninth season in the NFL.
It’s not just Allen’s legs, however, looking to run into the record books. He’s tallied 28 offensive touchdowns – 18 through the air and 10 on the ground – and with two more touchdowns of any type, he’ll reach the 30 mark for the sixth consecutive season. Drew Brees, who did so in nine consecutive seasons from 2008-16, is the only other player in NFL history to rack up 30 offensive touchdowns in at least six straight seasons.
Just a single touchdown pass from Allen would break a tie with Hall of Famer Brett Favre’s 213 for the fifth most ever by a player in their first eight seasons. Only Patrick Mahomes with 245, Hall of Famer Peyton Manning‘s 244, Hall of Famer Dan Marino‘s 241 and Russell Wilson with 227 have more.
A pair of passing touchdowns for the Bills signal caller would bring him to 20 on the season, which, when paired with his 10 scores on the ground – would make him the first player to ever throw for 20 touchdowns and run for 10 in three seasons.
