The reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen has continued to pad his future Hall of Fame resume with another record this season.
Another week, another NFL record for Josh Allen. With 5:11 left in the fourth quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon, the Buffalo Bills quarterback took a QB sneak for a two-yard touchdown run. Not only did that score cut the Eagles lead to 13-6, but it was one that made history.
Allen is now the only play in NFL history to score 300 total touchdowns before turning 30. Allen, 29, doesn't turn 30 years old until May 21, 2026.
In reaching 300 total touchdowns, Allen also surpassed another notable benchmark. The previous fastest quarterback to reach that number was Aaron Rodgers, who accomplished the feat in 134 games. Allen did it in just 127, shaving nearly a full half-season off the record.
From an age perspective, the achievement places Allen in truly elite company. Not only is he the first player to hit 300 total touchdowns before turning 30, but he is just the third to do so before the age of 32. The only other players to reach that mark that early in their careers were Peyton Manning and Dan Marino, both of whom are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Coming into Sunday’s game, Allen had already posted another impressive statistical season. He entered the week with 3,406 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns, while adding 552 rushing yards and 12 scores on the ground. It’s that rare dual-threat ability that continues to separate him from almost everyone else at the position.
Depending on how games around the Bills play out and if he needs to play in the regular season finale against the Jets, Allen is almost certain to extend the record further. If he reaches 40 total touchdowns on the year, he will tie Rodgers for the most 40-plus touchdown seasons in NFL history, with six.
While a repeat MVP award may be unlikely this season due to the play of Los Angeles' Matthew Stafford and New England's Drake Maye, Allen’s continued dominance leaves little doubt about where his career is headed. Records are piling up, wins are following, and his Hall of Fame résumé continues to grow by the week.
