Josh Allen is a fan favorite among the Bills Mafia, and with each game, he not only strengthens his bond with the fans but also makes significant strides in the franchise’s record books.
In his recent game against the Seattle Seahawks, Allen threw for 283 yards, completed two touchdown passes, and rushed for another 25 yards, further advancing his position in several franchise statistics. Here’s how he compares to some of the Bills’ legendary players:
**Passing Yards**
Allen has accumulated 24,469 passing yards, placing him third in franchise history. Jim Kelly leads with 35,467 yards, so Allen still has some ground to cover. Joe Ferguson, who played from 1973 to 1984, is in second with 27,590 yards, meaning Allen needs an additional 3,122 yards to overtake him—a target he could reach in the first half of next season.
**Passing Touchdowns**
After throwing his second touchdown on Sunday, Allen tied Ferguson for the second-highest number of passing touchdowns in franchise history with 181. Kelly remains at the forefront with 237 passing touchdowns, and Allen’s next touchdown will officially secure him second place.
**Total Touchdowns**
With 56 rushing touchdowns added to his 181 passing touchdowns, Allen currently matches Kelly’s total of 237 touchdowns. However, with Kelly’s seven rushing touchdowns included, his overall total stands at 244. If Allen scores eight more total touchdowns this season, he will break the Bills’ record for the most total touchdowns.
**Rushing Yards**
After gaining 25 rushing yards on Sunday, Allen surpassed LeSean McCoy to take sixth place on the franchise’s rushing yard leaderboard with 3,815 yards. With Travis Henry in fifth place at 3,849 yards, Allen is on track to enter the top five soon.
**Rushing Touchdowns**
The record for rushing touchdowns is held by Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas with 65. O.J. Simpson follows with 57, and Allen currently has 56, placing him third. A single rushing touchdown would tie him for second place, and with two more, he’d claim that spot outright. It would be a fitting achievement if he reached that milestone against the Dolphins this week.
