Josh Allen has officially become the NFL’s new all-time leader in career rushing touchdowns scored by a quarterback in NFL history. With an 8-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter of the Buffalo Bills’ Week 13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the reigning MVP recorded the 76th rushing touchdown of his eight-year career, surpassing Cam Newton’s previous record of 75. The milestone touchdown—Allen’s 11th rushing touchdown of the season—extended Buffalo’s lead to 23-7 with 14:08 remaining.
Allen finished the game completing 15 of 23 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and one interception, while adding 38 rushing yards on eight carries. Newton needed 148 games to reach 75 career rushing touchdowns, while Allen needed 123. He had previously tied Newton’s record in Week 11, when he totaled six touchdowns, including three on the ground, in a win over Tampa Bay. Allen is now one of just four players in NFL history—alongside Hall of Famers Marshall Faulk, LaDainian Tomlinson and Jim Brown—to record at least six rushing touchdowns in each of his first eight seasons.
Of his 76 career rushing scores, 27 have come from the 1-yard line and 72 from inside the red zone. Since entering the league in 2018, only Derrick Henry (106) has scored more rushing touchdowns than Allen, regardless of position.
Allen currently ranks sixth all time among quarterbacks in rushing yards, with 4,493. Ahead of him are Randall Cunningham, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Michael Vick and fellow 2018 draftee Lamar Jackson, the all-time leader at 6,399 yards and counting. With six straight seasons of at least 30 combined passing and rushing touchdowns, Allen has also moved past Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers for the second-longest such streak in NFL history, trailing only Drew Brees’ record of nine.
