In the Buffalo Bills (7-3) high-scored victory over the Tampa Buccaneers (6-4) on Sunday, quarterback Josh Allen made a little NFL history.
He became the first QB with multiple games of three-plus passing touchdowns and three-plus rushing touchdowns. Further cementing his legacy as one of the great all-time dual-threat QBs.
On Sunday, the reigning MVP went 19-for-30 for 317 passing yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also added three rushing touchdowns on six carries for 40 yards.
Allen has now tied Cam Newton (75) for the most regular-season rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. Philadelphia Eagles‘ Jalen Hurts—known for the much-debated “tush push” play—has recorded 60 rushing touchdowns despite playing 35 fewer games.

Allen’s tough 9-yard run with 2:35 remaining sealed the Bills’ 44–32 victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
In a shootout featuring nine lead changes, Allen outdueled fellow 2018 first-rounder Baker Mayfield. Buffalo benched struggling receiver Keon Coleman to jump-start the passing attack, and all three of Allen’s touchdown throws went for at least 25 yards. Ty Johnson scored on a 52-yard catch-and-run, Allen hit Tyrell Shavers deep for a 43-yard touchdown, and James Cook III added a 25-yard score.
Allen put Buffalo ahead with a 5-yard touchdown run with 9:06 left. On his final rushing score, he escaped the pocket, absorbed contact at the 4-yard line, and was wrapped up at the 2 before the Bills’ offensive linemen pushed him into the end zone. The game was effectively decided with 1:44 remaining, when Mayfield lost a fumble while being sacked by DaQuan Jones. Mayfield finished 16-of-28 for 173 yards, with a touchdown, an interception, and a rushing score.
Sean Tucker carried the Buccaneers’ offense, rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns and adding a 28-yard receiving score to give Tampa Bay a 32–31 lead early in the fourth quarter.
The teams traded explosive plays from the outset, producing five lead changes in the first half alone. Buffalo led 21–20 at the break despite holding the ball for just 9 minutes and 50 seconds.
Coleman was a healthy scratch for the first time in his two-year career. Gabe Davis made his season debut after being elevated from the practice squad, and Mecole Hardman saw his first action as a Bill after being signed from the practice squad on Saturday. Hardman, however, did not return after suffering a calf injury in the second half.
Head coach Sean McDermott and Allen have continued to face questions about the team’s inconsistent passing attack, which currently sits in the middle of the league in yards per game.
Meanwhile, the Bills led the NFL in rushing yards per game headed into Sunday, but Cook only rushed for 48 yards on 16 carries against the Bucs.
The Bills have a short week before heading to Houston to play the Texans (5-5) on “Thursday Night Football.” Houston may have the best defense in the NFL and have won two in a row with Davis Mills at quarterback because C.J. Stroud was concussed in Week 9.
Usually the runaway winner of the AFC East in recent years, the Bills find themselves at the No. 5 wild-card spot in the playoff picture because the New England Patriots are 9-2 and the overall No. 1 seed in the conference. The Patriots defeated the Bills in Week 5 and the two meet again Week 15, Dec. 14.
