  "account": "Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on the brink of joining an elite club in the NFL. Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk reports that Allen needs just 40 rushing yards to become only the fifth quarterback in league history to rush for 5,000 yards in his career. The only players to achieve this feat beforehand are Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson with 6,666 rushing yards, Michael Vick with 6,109, Cam Newton with 5,628, and Russell Wilson with 5,568. Allen already holds the NFL record for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 87, and it is unlikely he will be surpassed on this list. However, he is in a strong position to finish his career with the second-most rushing yards and most rushing touchdowns of any quarterback in NFL history. While Allen is undoubtedly an exceptional passer, the primary focus for the Bills is to secure the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank fifth in the league for rushing yards per game (140.6).",
