Bills QB Josh Allen makes history in win over Texans
Josh Allen extended his record of most games with two passing and two rushing touchdowns in the Bills’ 36-31 win over the Texans.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen made history in the team's season-opening victory over the Houston Texans, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for two more. This four-touchdown performance marked Allen's ninth career game with at least two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns, placing him at the forefront of the NFL record for most games with 2+ Pass TD and 2+ Rush TD.
Steve Young and Cam Newton currently hold the record with four and three such games respectively. Allen completed 20 of 29 passes for 334 yards in the game, orchestrating a decisive late drive for the Bills. With 1:36 left on the clock, he connected with Joshua Palmer on a 34-yard touchdown pass, putting the Bills ahead for good.
Allen also showcased his running ability, scoring twice on the ground in the game. The rushing touchdowns were typical for Allen, who is known for being a formidable quarterback to contain when scrambling out of the pocket. The win was particularly significant for Buffalo, as they had lost both of their previous road trips to Houston. Allen's dual-threat capability continues to set him apart from other quarterbacks in the league.
