Josh Allen just keeps rewriting the record books, man, and this one’s a doozy. The Buffalo Bills quarterback found the end zone with his legs for the second time last Sunday against the Houston Texans, officially pushing his career rushing touchdowns to 81. That number just moved him into a tie with NFL legend Frank Gore on the all-time list. Yeah, you read that right: a quarterback is doing this.
A QB Among RBs? Seriously
It’s wild to think about, but Allen is now sitting at 20th on the NFL’s all-time rushing touchdown list, and it’s a roster almost entirely packed with running backs. He’s tied with both Frank Gore and Ottis Anderson, who each hit 81 rushing TDs. But here’s the kicker: Gore took a whopping 16-year career to get there, and Anderson needed 14 years. Allen? He’s only in his ninth NFL season. Dude is an absolute freak of nature, and this kind of stuff just proves it. He already held the NFL record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, having entered this season with 79 scores, four more than Cam Newton’s career total of 75.
Just Two Quarters In, And He’s Climbing
This latest milestone came early in the 2026 season, marking his second rushing score against the Texans. That second quarter touchdown against Houston gave Buffalo a 17-14 lead, showing he’s not just racking up stats, he’s making game-changing plays. It’s only “two quarters into the 2026 season,” and Allen is already making history, putting his name on another line in the record book. With just one more rushing touchdown, both Gore and Anderson will be looking up at him on the list. That next score is gonna be something to see.
