Derrick Henry and Josh Allen are absolutely tearing it up, both racking up six rushing touchdowns through just three games of the season. It’s an insane start, and these two beasts are now staring down some serious NFL history.
History Books Are Calling Their Names
Talk about a power duo. Henry, the Ravens’ bruising back, and Allen, the Bills’ dynamic quarterback, each have a legitimate shot to tie the record for most rushing touchdowns through the first four games of a season. We’re talking about a mark of nine scores, a number held by absolute legends: Hall of Famer Jim Brown in ’58, Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith in ’95, and Stephen Davis in ’99. That’s some elite company right there. To tie that record, they each need three more touchdowns this week. To completely blow past it? They’d need four.
King Henry Chasing Even More Milestones
It’s not just the four-game record on the line for Henry, either. The man is on a mission. If he punches in at least two rushing scores in his next outing, he’ll leapfrog into fourth place all-time for games with multiple touchdowns. Right now, he’s tied with Hall of Famer Randy Moss at 37 such games. Think about that. He’s breathing down the necks of guys like Emmitt Smith (39 games), Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson (44), and Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (46). Plus, if he gets those two scores, he’d also join Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk and Hall of Famer Marcus Allen as the only players with 40 or more rushing touchdowns across multiple teams. That’s legendary stuff from a guy who just keeps trucking.
All eyes are on this upcoming week. Henry gets his shot against his old squad, the Titans, in what’s going to be an emotional matchup. Allen steps onto the field in the first home game at Buffalo’s new stadium, facing off against their biggest rivals, the Patriots. The stage is set for an epic pursuit of history. You absolutely do not want to miss this.
