Josh Allen has the Bills’ touchdown record all to himself
Allen moved past Hall of Famers Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas with the 88th touchdown of his career.
Orchard Park, New York - Josh Allen has surpassed the Buffalo Bills’ all-time touchdown record from scrimmage, marking a significant milestone in the franchise's history. Allen scored his 88th career touchdown by rushing for a one-yard run with just a minute left in the second quarter against the New England Patriots. This achievement broke the previous record held by Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas, both of whom had 87 career scrimmage touchdowns.
Allen's new record now stands alone, having surpassed the combined total of the two Hall of Fame inductees. Reed and Thomas, both members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, were key players for the Bills' consecutive Super Bowl-winning teams in the early 1990s. Reed played 15 seasons in Buffalo, earning seven Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro honors, while Thomas, who played 12 seasons, earned five Pro Bowl selections and was named NFL MVP in 1991.
Allen's journey to this milestone has been notably swift, as he entered Sunday's game with 85 rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns, already setting an NFL record for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. This incredible achievement marks the beginning of a new era in Bills history, setting a high bar for future players aiming to rewrite the team's legacy.
