Josh Allen has delivered countless memorable moments in his career, but what happened at Acrisure Stadium during Buffalo’s 26–7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers may stand above them all — even if he downplayed it himself. With an 8-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter, Allen officially reached 76 career rushing touchdowns, surpassing Cam Newton (75) to become the quarterback with the most rushing TDs in NFL history.
The play was classic Josh Allen: powerful, decisive, unpretentious — a straight-up bulldoze through the heart of the Steelers’ defense to seal the game. No elaborate celebration. No posing for the cameras. Just a leader doing what his team needed to win.
After the game, when asked about breaking the record, Allen delivered a line that made Bills Mafia even more proud of their captain:
“Records are something to appreciate, but for me winning will always matter more; if we can’t bring home victories then every number becomes meaningless, and what I truly want is to push Buffalo further — that’s the real value.”
That humility is exactly why Buffalo embraces him so deeply — a player who has redefined what a dual-threat quarterback can be while keeping the team’s success above his own legacy.
And he didn’t just break the record — he did it with staggering efficiency. Allen reached 76 rushing touchdowns in 121 games, far quicker than Newton’s 145-game climb to 75. In 2025 alone, Allen already sits at 10 rushing TDs, strengthening a campaign that could earn him a second MVP award.
Astonishingly, only 24 running backs in NFL history have more rushing touchdowns than Allen — a stat so surreal it places him among legendary company, but in a category all his own: a quarterback who runs like a power back yet leads like a franchise general.
As Bills Mafia erupted across social media and national outlets hailed the milestone as “historic,” Allen quietly walked off the field — steady, composed, and already thinking about the next challenge.
He may have placed one foot inside the door of football immortality, but Allen made it clear that winning — not records — is what will guide the other foot in. And for Buffalo, that’s exactly the kind of leader worth celebrating.
