Chris Bumbaca, USA TODAYSun, November 30, 2025 at 11:53 PM UTC·1 min readJosh Allen has plenty of football left in his career. But the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback is already setting records.
Allen broke Cam Newton’s record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history with his 76th score on the ground, which came on the third play of the fourth quarter eight yards out on third-and-goal Nov. 30 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The reigning NFL MVP is up to 11 rushing touchdowns this season; his single-season best is 15 from the 2022 campaign. Allen has at least six rushing touchdowns in all eight of his pro seasons.
Allen made more history against Pittsburgh earlier in the game. He passed NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre for fifth place on the list of signal callers with the most passing touchdowns in the first eight seasons of their career (214) when he found Keon Coleman for a one-yard score in the third quarter.
The Bills led 23-7 with a quarter to go.
Week 1: Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (18) makes a catch for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers during the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field. The play was originally ruled an incomplete pass, but the call was overturned. Despite TeSlaa's effort, the Packers won the game 27-13.
Week 1: The New England Patriots' Robert Spillane (14) and Christian Elliss (53) tackle Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (87) during the second half at Gillette Stadium. The Raiders won the game, 20-13.
Week 1: New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson (3) fumbles the ball on a tackle by Washington Commanders safety Will Harris (3) during the first quarter at Northwest Stadium. It was a rough Giants debut for Wilson (17 of 37 passing for 168 yards) as the Commanders won the game, 21-6.
Week 1: Fireworks go off before the NFL Kickoff Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles opened the season with a 24-20 victory over their longtime NFC East rivals.1 / 4Best images of the 2025 NFL season
