Josh Allen Aims for NFL History in AFC Showdown Against Bengals

As the NFL season progresses, all eyes are on Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ star quarterback. With his consistent performance, Allen aims to make history during the upcoming AFC showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Historical Milestones within Reach

Josh Allen has established himself as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks since 2020. He is a three-time Pro Bowler and the reigning MVP. His performance is vital to the Bills’ success, often determining the team’s fortunes in close games.

Last week, Allen made headlines by breaking the record for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, previously held by Cam Newton. He differentiated himself further by becoming the first player in NFL history to achieve multiple games with both three or more rushing and three or more passing touchdowns.

Chasing Records Against the Bengals

Heading into the matchup with the Bengals, Allen is on the verge of setting additional records. Currently, he ranks fourth in rushing yards in Bills history. However, he aims to surpass Jim Kelly to become the franchise leader in passing yards.

Current passing touchdowns: 19
Current rushing touchdowns: 11

According to the Buffalo Bills’ public relations team, Allen is just one passing touchdown away from becoming the first player ever with three seasons of 20+ passing touchdowns and 10+ rushing touchdowns.

Furthermore, if Allen manages to score both a passing and rushing touchdown in the upcoming game, he will mark his 50th instance of accomplishing this feat. Considering the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive struggles, this historic performance seems achievable.

The Importance of the Game

While personal milestones are significant, Allen’s primary focus remains on securing a victory against the Bengals. The Bills are in a competitive playoff race, not only for the AFC East but for a broader postseason spot. Achieving a win is essential for maintaining their playoff hopes.
