Josh Allen continues to rewrite the quarterback rushing record book with only one active player ahead of him

And just like that, we are already onto Week 3 of the NFL season , where eight teams remain undefeated, led most surprisingly by the Las Vegas Raiders in the AFC and the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC .

Alongside the Raiders in the AFC, the other three unbeaten squads feature arguably the premier signal-callers in the league: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills , Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs , and Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals .

Throughout this young campaign, Allen has unquestionably played better than anyone else across the association, racking up five passing touchdowns and four rushing scores while making history as the first NFL player to record 3+ passing TDs and 3+ rushing TDs through a team's opening two games of a season since 1960.

Josh Allen Climbs All-Time Rushing Touchdown Ranks

Entering his ninth professional season and commanding the longest active playoff streak in the NFL (7 straight seasons) , Allen has established himself as a perennial fixture in MVP discussions, clinching the coveted award in 2024, though delivering the first Super Bowl title in Buffalo franchise history remains his ultimate ambition.

While occasional postseason miscues have contributed to playoff exits, Allen is single-handedly the engine that keeps the Bills firmly entrenched as championship contenders year in and year out.

Following his electric start to this campaign, his career rushing touchdown total has climbed to 83 , making him the all-time leader in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history while placing him comfortably among active runners.

Among all active players across the league, Allen sits securely as the second-leading active player in rushing touchdowns, trailing only superstar running back Derrick Henry , who leads the active list with 126 rushing scores .

Sitting behind Henry and Allen to round out the top five active ground-score leaders are Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (73) , San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey (64) , and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (63) .

With his current trajectory, Allen is well on his way toward potentially cracking the 100 career rushing touchdowns threshold, cementing his legacy as a true all-time great when he eventually hangs up his cleats, even as championship urgency mounts.

Upcoming Slate Sets Stage for High-Stakes Tests as Bills Chase Title Ambitions

Looking ahead at the immediate schedule, the Bills return to the gridiron for a home clash against the Los Angeles Chargers , followed by consecutive challenging battles, first hosting the New England Patriots at home before traveling across the country to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5 inside SoFi Stadium.

That October showdown in Inglewood carries massive intrigue, as it could serve as an early Super Bowl preview inside the exact venue that will host Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027 .

As Allen continues to rewrite the record books with his dual-threat mastery, Buffalo's pursuit of football immortality shifts into high gear.
