Josh Allen joins Jackson, Vick, Newton, and Wilson as the only quarterbacks with 5,000 career rushing yards.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has become just the fifth quarterback in NFL history to reach 5,000 rushing yards. This remarkable achievement was realized during the team's Week 9 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Allen, whose primary role is quarterbacking, has demonstrated his versatility by contributing significantly with his legs.
The milestone was reached in the third quarter with a series of designed runs. Allen's career began with 4,991 rushing yards, and he added four more through a 7-yard run in the first quarter and a 5-yard and 3-yard run in the second half. The 5,000-yard mark was finally confirmed after a 7-yard scramble from the Minnesota 21, followed by a 3-yard run.
Allen joins a prestigious group that includes Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson. The Bills fans have witnessed Allen's impressive yardage through scrambles, designed runs, and overcoming defensive pressure. This milestone also adds to Allen's NFL record for career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.
