Josh Allen went absolutely bananas for his fourth career “double-triple” in Monday night’s wild 37-34 overtime win against the Rams, throwing for 210 yards and rushing for another 121. The dude put on a clinic, and honestly, we need to talk more about how insane these performances are.
Breaking Down Allen’s Masterclass
This wasn’t just a win, it was Allen putting the team on his back in classic style. He shredded the Rams defense, racking up 121 rushing yards on just 10 carries, including a touchdown that surely had the crowd going nuts. Through the air, he was sharp, completing 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards and another score. Yeah, he threw one pick, but you can’t argue with the overall impact. PFT calls it a “double-triple” when a player goes triple-digits in two different statistical categories, and Allen absolutely delivered. This kind of dual-threat show is exactly what makes him such a tough opponent, combining elite arm talent with that bruising running game.
Allen’s Place Among Dual-Threat Greats
This latest “double-triple” isn’t a fluke. Allen’s been doing this for a minute. He dropped back-to-back ones in 2018, hitting 231 passing and 135 rushing against the Dolphins in Week 13, then following it up with 206 passing and 101 rushing against the Jets in Week 14. Then in 2021, Week 14 against the Buccaneers, he went for 308 passing and 109 rushing. That’s a serious resume. When you talk about this specific stat, he’s in elite company, but still has some climbing to do. Lamar Jackson is the all-time boss with a ridiculous 17 double-triples, and Michael Vick is second with eight. The only other player to pull off a double-triple this season was Jayden Daniels, who had 199 passing and 103 rushing in that Giants tie on Sunday. Allen’s performance really puts him in that conversation with the best dual-threat QBs ever.
You know what? This kind of electric play from Allen is what keeps the league on its toes. Getting his fourth career double-triple, especially in an overtime thriller like that 37-34 win, just solidifies his spot as one of the game’s premier talents. If he keeps putting up numbers like these, chasing down those all-time greats, it’s going to be a fun season to watch him try.
