Josh Allen is an absolute monster on the field, and he is already sitting at 86 career rushing touchdowns. That number puts him right up there with legends, and he is about to blow past some serious Hall of Fame running backs like Curtis Martin and Eric Dickerson, who are tied at 90 career rushing TDs. It is not a question of if, but when.
The Mutant Force That Is Josh Allen
Hall of Famer Curtis Martin knows what it takes to run the ball in the NFL, and he sees something completely different in Allen. Martin described him as an “X-Men supervillain” to Tim Graham of The Athletic. He was searching for a character who had “all the different superpowers combined into one, the ultimate force.” The name he landed on? Apocalypse. That is how Martin sees Allen, just “laying waste to NFL records once dominated by running backs.” It is a wild comparison to hear, but watch Allen play and you get it. The dude is built different.
Unstoppable Force: Allen’s Record Chase
This dude, Allen, is only 30 years old, and he is absolutely tearing it up this season. He has already racked up seven rushing touchdowns in just five games, which means he is on pace to hit double-digit rushing touchdowns for the fourth season in a row. Think about that for a second. It is not just a hot streak, it is consistent, game-changing production from a quarterback running the ball. By some point in the 2027 season, it is super possible Allen could blast past 100 career rushing touchdowns. That would rocket him into the top 10 all time, rubbing shoulders with guys who made entire careers out of running the ball. While his physical running style might not be sustainable forever, you can definitely see why, right now, when Allen is coming hard at defenders, he also makes you think of another X-Men villain: the Juggernaut. It is just pure, unadulterated power every time he tucks it and goes.
Allen is on a collision course with history, with 90 rushing touchdowns almost certainly in his rearview mirror very, very soon. Keep an eye on the numbers, because this “Apocalypse” is only getting started on rewriting the record books.
