Josh Allen blasted his way into the Buffalo Bills record books, hitting his 87th career touchdown and pulling even with absolute legends Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas for the most in franchise history! He keeps making history, doesn’t he?
The Charger Game That Made History
Allen came into Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers needing two scores to tie the all-time mark, and he delivered. First, with Buffalo trailing 10-3 late in the second quarter, Allen powered in a 1-yard run with only 19 seconds left before halftime for his 86th career touchdown. That was big for momentum, cutting the Chargers’ lead!
But he wasn’t done! He scored his second touchdown of the day on another crucial 1-yard run with about seven and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter. That clutch play didn’t just tie the record, it actually gave Buffalo their first lead of the day at 17-13. Talk about impact!
Sharing The Podium With Greatness
Now Allen’s name sits right there next to two absolute Hall of Famers. Andre Reed, a receiving machine, finished his Bills career with 87 touchdowns himself, 86 through the air and one on the ground. Then you got Thurman Thomas, the rushing icon, who got his 87 with 65 rushing TDs and another 22 as a receiver. These two guys have shared that franchise record since Reed got his 87th and final one all the way back in 1999. Allen reached this incredible 87-touchdown milestone in his 131st game with the Bills. That’s some serious production, right?
What’s Next For The Franchise Record
So, what happens now? Tying the record is a massive accomplishment, no doubt. But for Allen, it really just means he’s got another number to chase. The very next time he finds the end zone, whether it’s through the air or on the ground, he won’t just be adding to his total. He’ll be knocking Reed and Thomas down a line and claiming that franchise record all for himself at 88 career touchdowns. You know he’s already got his eyes on that next trip to the paint!
