Josh Allen made some NFL history during the second half of the Bills’ Week 13 showdown with the Steelers, and it came in dramatic fashion.
On third-and-goal early in the fourth quarter, Allen bulldozed his way for an eight-yard score that extended the Bills’ lead to 23-7. The score was Allen’s 76th career touchdown run, surpassing Cam Newton for the most rushing touchdowns in NFL history for a quarterback. Buffalo would go on win, 26-7.
The NFL’s MVP in 2015, Newton had broken the record that was previously held by 49ers Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is currently third on the all-time list with 63 touchdown runs.
