The Buffalo Bills are coming off a divisional win against the Miami Dolphins on “Thursday Night Football,” in which quarterback Josh Allen cemented himself in the NFL history books in more ways than one.

It wasn’t just surpassing quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the fastest player to reach 300 career touchdowns, including the postseason, but Allen beat out NFL legend and quarterback Tom Brady in the win as well.

The reigning MVP finished his day going 22-for-28 with 213 yards and three touchdowns. In a 12-game span, while just appearing in one snap in Week 18 of the 2024 season, Allen became the only player in NFL history to have 31 TDs to one INT during that number of games, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.

Brady held the previous record with 29 touchdowns and one interception before Allen’s performance on Thursday.

Fast facts about Allen’s historic 12-game stretch

  • Josh Allen: 19 passing, 11 rushing, and one receiving touchdown with only one interception (12/1/24-9/18/25)
  • Tom Brady: 28 passing and one rushing touchdown with one interception (10/24/10-1/16/11)
  • Aaron Rodgers: 27 passing and two rushing touchdowns with one interception (10/17/21-1/22/22)
  • Jalen Hurts: 16 passing and 12 rushing touchdowns with one interception (10/13/24-1/12/25)
  • Jalen Hurts: 15 passing and 13 rushing touchdowns with one interception (9/29/24-12/22/24)

Josh Allen continues to defy the odds

The Bills’ signal-caller passes Brady, Rodgers, and Jalen Hurts (twice), which is just a further testament that the team drafted the right Josh on draft night in 2018. After Allen was selected by the Bills, there were fans and critics alike claiming that the team took the wrong Josh, in favor of Josh Rosen.

Allen is a unicorn, and hindsight is always 20/20, but the Bills really did fool everyone and outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself when they selected the now reigning MVP.

Limiting his turnovers has been the biggest point of emphasis, and Allen is coming off a career low in turnovers in 2024 with eight. Through the early stages of the 2025 season, he’s showing that it wasn’t a fluke.

Long gone are the comments about Allen being a turnover machine, after he dedicated countless hours to his craft over the years. His hard work and dedication have paid off in a big way as Allen continues to etch his name in the NFL history books with elite performance after elite performance.

Buffalo went from a franchise starving for quarterback stability to one watching a player rewrite NFL history on national television, repeatedly. With Allen limiting his turnovers, the Bills aren’t just winning games — they’re watching their quarterback redefine what’s possible in the modern NFL.
