Josh Allen is doing something absolutely bananas right now, and it’s not slowing down. The Bills are heading to Las Vegas this Sunday for a matchup against the Raiders, and Allen is on the verge of making even more history after an already incredible start to the season.
Allen’s Unstoppable Ground Game and Rousseau’s Sack Drought
Five games, eight rushing touchdowns. Seriously, folks? Allen has bulldozed his way into the end zone on the ground in five straight games to kick off the season. That isn’t just a Buffalo record, that’s an NFL record for a quarterback! He’s already etched his name into the league’s history books, but now he’s got a shot to extend that insane streak against the Raiders. You telling me he’s not getting in on the ground again? The man’s a freight train who’s scored at least once on the ground in every single game so far this year.
But Allen isn’t the only one chasing history this weekend. Greg Rousseau came out firing this season, racking up six sacks in the first three games. Then, nothing. He’s been stuck on 38 career sacks for two weeks now, just half a sack away from blowing past Darryl Talley on Buffalo’s all-time list. This is his third shot to get that next one. He’s gotta be due, right? You can feel that sack coming.
Knox Hunting Double Records in Vegas
Dawson Knox is also on the cusp of passing James Lofton on the all-time receiving yards list. He’s sitting at 2,730 career yards, and Lofton finished his Buffalo career with 2,736. Knox needs six yards to tie Lofton and seven to pass him for 16th place in the franchise record book. Get this, he literally caught a six-yard pass last Monday against the Rams! You know Allen’s going to find him for at least seven this week. We’re talking inches here, people.
And Knox isn’t just eyeing receiving yards. He’s also tied with Gabe Davis and Stevie Johnson for seventh all-time in receiving touchdowns with 28. Jerry Butler is right there at 29. One touchdown would put Knox right there with Butler for sixth, and two? Two puts him all alone in front of Butler. Imagine grabbing two franchise records in one game. That would be wild.
So, when the Bills hit Vegas on Sunday for that matchup with the Raiders, it’s not just another game. We’re talking history being made. Will Allen extend his insane rushing touchdown streak? Will Knox grab those seven yards, or maybe even two touchdowns? Will Rousseau finally get that half-sack? Get ready, because it’s going to be a wild one.
