Josh Allen Is 40 Yards From History: Our Old QB Is Waiting For Him In The Record Books

Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on the verge of a seriously rare NFL milestone, needing just 40 rushing yards this Sunday against the Raiders to hit 5,000 for his career. This ain’t just any number, folks. He’s about to join a club that only four other QBs in NFL history have ever been a part of. We’re talking about elite company, and frankly, it’s pretty wild to see who’s already there.

The Elite Rushing QB Club

Think about the most dominant running quarterbacks in NFL history. Allen is about to put his name right alongside them. Leading the pack is Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the NFL’s all-time QB leader with an insane 6,666 career rushing yards heading into Week 6. Then you’ve got Michael Vick with 6,109, and Cam Newton not far behind at 5,628. But here’s where it gets interesting for us here in the Emerald City: our very own former signal-caller, Russell Wilson, is also on that list, sitting comfortably with 5,568 career rushing yards. Knowing Allen is about to join that kind of company just makes you appreciate the athletic freaks who can dominate with their legs from the QB spot.

Allen’s Unstoppable Dual-Threat Game

And if you thought 5,000 rushing yards was impressive, consider this: Allen is already the NFL’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns for a quarterback, absolutely shattering records with 87 career rushing scores. That’s just ridiculous. While he’s probably not going to catch Jackson on the career rushing yardage list, he could easily retire with both the most career rushing touchdowns and the second-most career rushing yards of any quarterback in NFL history. He’s not just a runner, either; he’s a great passer too, making him one of the most complete threats under center.

So, this Sunday against the Raiders, keep an eye on Josh Allen. That 40-yard mark isn’t just a number; it’s a ticket into NFL immortality. It’s going to be something special to watch him make history and etch his name further into the record books.
