Josh Allen just made NFL history, becoming the very first player ever to rack up five-plus passing touchdowns and five-plus rushing touchdowns through the first three games of a season. Yeah, you read that right. Nobody else in the entire league’s history has pulled that off before, and Allen’s doing it right now to kick off the 2026-27 season.
Buffalo Is Rolling, But It Ain’t Perfect
The Buffalo Bills are looking good, sitting at a clean 3-0 to start the year, and Allen is absolutely central to that success. The MVP-winning quarterback is already stacking up seriously impressive numbers as he tries to lead that franchise to the promised land. He’s definitely getting the respect he deserves in the NFL. CBS Sports’ Garrett Podell ranked all the NFL quarterbacks heading into Week 4, and Allen is firmly in that top tier.
Turnovers Are a Problem, But the History Speaks Volumes
Despite the incredible start, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Podell actually has Allen at No. 4 on his list, which is down three spots from last week. Why the drop? Turnovers. The Bills’ offense apparently struggled, “stuck in the mud for much of the day,” during their 24-16 win over the now 0-3 Los Angeles Chargers. The team gave up five turnovers in that game, and Allen was responsible for three of them: two interceptions and a lost fumble. Oof. That’s definitely something he’ll need to clean up.
But even with those mistakes, that historic production is what’s keeping him firmly in the top four. To be the first player in NFL history to hit five-plus passing touchdowns AND five-plus rushing touchdowns in just three games? That’s just insane.
Allen’s got things to work on, no doubt about it. But when you’re making history like this early in the season, Bills fans really don’t have much to complain about just yet. They’re 3-0, and their quarterback is doing stuff nobody has ever done before. What a start to the season!
