bills qb josh allen has achievement enshrined in hall of fame

The Buffalo Bills entered Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season knowing that the Baltimore Ravens would be out for blood. After all, the Bills were the ones who knocked them out of the playoffs last season, in dramatic fashion to boot, so the Ravens were looking for revenge on Sunday Night Football. Unfortunately, the Ravens jumped out to a 20-13 lead at halftime and pushed the spread to 15, taking a 34-19 lead into the fourth quarter. If not for future Hall of Fame quarterback Josh Allen, the game would have gotten out of hand much quicker. Allen continued his heroics in the early part of the fourth quarter, running in a touchdown from the two-yard line to make it a nine-point game. This rushing touchdown actually eclipsed a bit of Bills history for him, further making his case for Canton one day.

On Sunday, Allen tallied his 66th career rushing touchdown in the NFL, which means that he is now Buffalo's all-time leader in rushing touchdowns. He surpassed the legendary Thurman Thomas, who previously held the record with 65 touchdowns. This record has stood since Thomas left the Bills in 1999, so Allen is once again in rarified air. It took Thomas 2,849 carries over 12 seasons with the franchise to earn this mark, while Allen did it in just over seven seasons and 766 carries. It looks like Buffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen has a Hall of Fame fan. While reviewing tape from the Bills' Week 2 win over the New York Jets, former Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed shared what he thinks makes the reigning MVP such an "elite" player.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer said it's the "seven inches between his ears," referring to Allen's brain. The play that Reed specifically reviewed was Allen's 40-yard scramble in the win over the Jets. That play remains Allen's longest rush of the 2025 season. "Right out of the gate, Josh Allen is pointing and acknowledging who's the Mike," said Reed, referring to one of New York's middle linebackers. "They're telling the [offensive] line who to block, who's the middle of the defense."

Josh Allen is officially in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The fourth year pro hasn't been given a bust or yellow jacket, but one of his latest historic achievements is now being exhibited in Canton, OH. Allen recently became the first and only player in NFL history with at least 100 touchdown passes and 20 rushing touchdowns in his first four seasons. He accomplished the milestone during the Bills 33-21 Week 16 victory over the New England Patriots, in which he threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 64 yards rushing. His shoes and jersey that he wore in the game is now on display in the Hall of Fame’s Pro Football Today Gallery. Josh Allen continues his march into the NFL record books, occupying rarified air in the process

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen played an incredibly efficient and dominating game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1. Though he had attempted just two passes at the two-minute warning before halftime, Allen made Arizona pay for their defensive decisions in the second half. In helping the Bills secure a victory at home, Allen recorded his fourth game with two passing touchdowns and two rushing scores, tying former San Fransisco 49ers and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Steve... Going 18-of-23 for 232 yards, Allen helped the Bills climb out of an early 17-3 deficit for a dramatic 34-28 win over the Cardinals. Allen also added nine rushing attempts (one kneel down) for 39 yards on the ground and those two aforementioned touchdowns. His day could have gone even better, considering Allen also had a rushing touchdown called back on the Bills’ first drive of the game — due to an offensive facemask penalty by right guard...

Allen is now just two rushing touchdowns away from tying former Bills running back O.J. Simpson for second all-time in Buffalo Bills history (57).

This is an accepted version of this page Joshua Patrick Allen (born May 21, 1996)[1] is an American professional football quarterback for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL).

As the team's starting quarterback, he has led Buffalo to a total of six playoff appearances, five consecutive division titles, and two conference championship game berths. He was named NFL Most Valuable Player in 2024 and has also received three Pro Bowl and two second-team All-Pro selections.

San Diego State made him an offer to walk on, but Allen turned it down because Aztecs coach Rocky Long could not guarantee any playing time. In a 2017 story on Allen, ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach speculated on why Allen got so little interest out of high school:[2] .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}} ORCHARD PARK - For the third week in a row to start the 2024 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills have a player honored in the league’s weekly awards. Josh Allen on Wednesday was named AFC offensive player of the week for his performance in Monday night’s 47-10 blowout over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Allen completed 23 of 30 passes for 266 yards with four touchdowns, and he also ran six times for 44 yards with five of his carries resulting in first downs. This comes on the heels of edge rusher Greg Rousseau winning the AFC defensive player of the week in Week 1 for this three-sack effort against the Cardinals, and running back James Cook winning...

For Allen, it’s the 13th time he has won a player of the week award, the most in Bills history, but his first since Week 4 of the 2023 season following a game in... Allen becomes the 10th quarterback to win player of the week 13-or-more times, tying Joe Montana. Allen’s 13 awards are the most among any player since entering the NFL in 2018. The Buffalo Bills are currently gearing up for the 2025 NFL season, where they will hope to hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in their franchise's storied history. Under center for the Bills will be reigning league MVP quarterback Josh Allen, who carried an undermanned roster to the AFC Championship Game a season ago. Recently, Allen received an honor from his college, Wyoming, being inducted into the team's football Hall of Fame.

“I wouldn't be here without them. It's very cool to be honored by something so close and near to my heart,” said Allen in reaction to the news, per the Bills' official team account on X, formerly Twitter. It was at Wyoming that Allen turned himself from an unknown into a first round NFL draft prospect, putting together a unique combination of size, arm strength, and agility that in some ways made...
