No quarterback in the history of the NFL has been better at scoring on the ground than Josh Allen.
With an 8-yard rushing score in the Bills’ game against the Steelers on Sunday, Allen became the NFL’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, notching his 76th rushing touchdown to officially overtake Cam Newton’s record.

In a victory over the Buccaneers in Week 11, Allen scored six touchdowns overall, including three rushing touchdowns, tying Newton’s record of 75 career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. It took Newton 145 games to score 75 rushing touchdowns, while it took Allen 121 games.
Allen joins elite company. Jim Brown, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Marshall Faulk are all Hall of Fame running backs who have accomplished this.
With 4,493 yards on the ground, Allen is now sixth on the list of all-time quarterback rushing yards. He trails Randall Cunningham, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Michael Vick and 2018 draft classmate Lamar Jackson, who holds the record with 6,399 yards (and counting).
The No. 7 pick in the 2018 draft was infamously not a highly regarded quarterback coming out of high school, garnering zero scholarship offers. As a rusher, he was also poorly regarded.
