The dual-threat quarterback surpassed Hall of Fame legends Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas, etching his name atop the franchise leaderboard with a historic first-half touchdown plunge.

Josh Allen holds yet another record for the Buffalo Bills. 

With one minute remaining in the second quarter in Buffalo's Week 4 game against the New England Patriots, Allen took a two-yard run into the end zone. With that score, it was Allen's 86th career rushing touchdown and 88th total touchdown with the Bills.

At 88 touchdowns, Allen now becomes the Bills franchise record holder in career scores. To get the record, he passed Hall of Famers wide receiver Andre Reed and running back Thurman Thomas.

Allen now has 86 rushing touchdowns and two receiving for his career. Now, if you add in his 225 passing touchdowns, Allen has 313 career touchdowns. Last season, he became the youngest player to ever reach 300 touchdowns. He's also the first and only to reach that feet before 30.

The Bills are currently in a fight with the Patriots. Despite opening up as heavy favorites, it hasn't been easy. New England has had two seven-point leads, but the Bills have managed to battle back each time to tie.

Allen, for his efforts, is 14-of-18 for 153 yards and a rushing touchdown. The other Buffalo touchdown came on an eight-yard run from James Cook. 

Buffalo, after a Khalil Shakir fumble gave the Patriots the ball, benefited from a weird bounce leading to a Dee Alford interception that was returned to the New England 9 yard line.

Tyler Bass would tack on a field goal to give Buffalo a 17-14 lead at halftime.

It's important to note that wide receiver DJ Moore is questionable to return after reaggravating his shoulder injury.
