Josh Allen is one touchdown away from completely rewriting the Buffalo Bills’ record book, and honestly, it feels like it’s just another Sunday for the guy. Just three weeks into the season, this dude is already making history. He keeps running all over defenses and straight past some of the biggest names to ever play in the NFL, piling up stats like they’re going out of style.

Unstoppable: Allen’s Rush Towards Immortality

You think you know Josh Allen? Think again. He just ran for two more touchdowns against the Chargers, pushing his career total to a ridiculous 85 rushing scores. That officially ties him with none other than Beast Mode himself, Marshawn Lynch, for 17th on the NFL’s all-time list. Yeah, *that* Marshawn Lynch. One more rushing touchdown against the Patriots this weekend does some serious work. That 86th rushing score not only moves Allen past Lynch, but it also ties him with Priest Holmes for 16th in NFL history.

But wait, there’s more. That same touchdown, no matter how he gets it, will be Allen’s 88th overall touchdown scored as a Bill. That’s a huge deal because it breaks the franchise record he currently shares with legendary Bills Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas. Think about that: one trip to the end zone and this guy changes *three* different record book entries. Now, sure, he’s got four career receiving touchdowns, so he *could* make it complicated by catching one, but let’s hope for the conventional quarterback score. This is just mind-blowing. And get this: Allen has rushed for two touchdowns in each of Buffalo’s first three games. That makes him just the fourth player in NFL history to open a season with multiple rushing touchdowns in three straight games. That’s an insane pace!

More Bills On The Cusp of History

It’s not just Allen doing the heavy lifting in the record books, either. Dawson Knox is right there with him. Knox caught one pass against Los Angeles, bumping his career total to 233 receptions. That brings him even with Cole Beasley on Buffalo’s all-time receptions list. Just one more catch on Sunday, and Knox hits 234, sliding past Beasley into 15th place all by himself. Given he’s caught at least one pass in every game so far this season, it feels like a lock.

And while these two are making headlines, the whole team seems to be buzzing. Greg Rousseau is apparently setting a personal goal of two sacks per game, which, if you ask me, is a perfectly reasonable pace to keep. Even James Cook, after putting up some wild numbers last week, just went ahead and knocked a huge chunk off those anyway. The energy around this team is just different.

The New England Patriots are coming to Orchard Park, and honestly, the numbers are starting to get super interesting. The Bills are at home, looking to keep this wild momentum going, and watching Allen chase down multiple records in one game is going to be appointment television. You just know he’s going to make it happen.
